You could easily fill an entire vacation exploring West Hollywood’s trendy food, nightlife, and shopping. The typical housing accommodations include gorgeously designed single-family homes or low-rise apartments.
West Hollywood became a bustling town starting in the 1920s. Back then, gambling was illegal in Los Angeles but not in Los Angeles County. West Hollywood was still unincorporated, so casinos and nightclubs started popping up on the Sunset Strip. Although there is not much gambling there now, West Hollywood still possesses the bright lights and party energy with which it began.
