The Queen Mary
For decades the Queen Mary ocean liner catered exclusively to the ultra-rich;
it's now a luxury hotel, with prices to match, but you can also take
tours of this Art Deco palace, which doubles as a museum.
Venice Boardwalk
Venice Boardwalk is like an outdoor circus - perennially teeming with
rollerblading jugglers, fire-eaters, body-builders and other wacky
characters.
Getty Center
With its staggering $1.3 billion endowment, this museum has snapped up
top-notch paintings and photographs from such modernist masters as Man
Ray, and decorative arts from the reign of France's Louis XIV.
Rodeo Drive
Ogle the price tags and ostentatious fashions in the ritzy boutiques of
Rodeo Drive, but keep an eye out for the celebrities who live in the
nearby hills.
Central Hollywood
The studios have moved away, but you can still compare shoe sizes with
the stars on the Walk of Fame, or duck into Frederick's lingerie museum
for a peek at Cher's knickers.
