How to get there

Customers of Airport Van Rentals will find the Sunset Strip at the heart of Sunset Boulevard, between Crescent Heights Boulevard (just west of Fairfax) and Doheny Drive (Beverly Hills city limit). Customers of Airport Van Rentals can reach the Strip from the Hollywood 101 Freeway. From the freeway, take the Sunset Boulevard exit and head west. The Strip will appear after about three miles. If you’re on Rodeo Drive heading north, simply hang a right when you see the Sunset Boulevard sign.

Hit the clubs during your upcoming Airport Van Rentals vacation

Looking to enjoy a great night out on the town during your upcoming visit to LA? Well, there’s no better place to begin than the clubs on the Sunset Strip. If you’re looking to shake what your momma gave you, Airport Van Rentals highly recommends Whiskey Bar (one block south of Sunset at 1200 North Alta Loma Road), The Viper Room (8852 Sunset), The Roxy (9009 Sunset) and The Key Club (9039 Sunset). If you’re hungry, Airport Van Rentals recommends grabbing a bite to eat at Carney’s (8351 Sunset), the House of Blues (8430 Sunset) or Le Dome (8720 Sunset).

Stay where the stars play

A number of flashy hotels are located along the Sunset Strip, providing visitors with plush guestrooms and plenty of Hollywood gossip. Popular choices include the Chateau Marmont (8221 Sunset and the Sunset Tower Hotel (formerly known as the Argyle, 8358 Sunset). Both of these establishments have a long history of Hollywood scandal. For example, the castle-like Chateau Marmont was the hotel where John Belushi died of a heroin overdose in 1982. Powerhouse actors like Clark Gable and John Wayne used to stay at the Sunset Tower, along with buxom beauties like Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Liza Minnelli.

Keep an eye out for exciting billboards

Monstrous billboards are a trademark of the Sunset Strip, enticing visitors with colourful advertisements and catchy slogans. Memorable Sunset Strip billboards include one for Disney’s movie Aladdin – not only did it feature a magic lamp, but this lamp also emitted smoke! And who could forget the time that a luxury car company placed $30,000 in actual cash on their billboard (too bad there were security guards on duty at all times!). Hollywood advertisers will do anything to grab your attention while traveling along the Strip, so don’t forget to pay attention. You never know what you’ll see towering about the buildings on Sunset.
