L.A. libraries are abundant sources of storytimes and activities. Most take part in the Grandparent and Books program, with a volunteer grandparent available to read (or listen) to kids after school: check local branches for details. Kids should check out the Kids' Home Page for homework help, recommended readings, and Net surfing tips; TeenWeb has more of the same for the older set.

In Short Built in 1926, the Central Library is the nerve center of the Los Angeles library system. Located in Downtown L.A., the original five-story building has since blossomed into a massive multi-level structure housing more than two million books (it's the country's third largest public library in terms of book and periodical holdings) and various cultural exhibits. Aside from the... more

The Scene Opened in 1943, this legendary casino enjoys the loyalty of its longtime regulars in a smoky atmosphere reminiscent of downtown's early days. The venerable property sits a couple of blocks east of the bustling Fremont Street Experience. It offers nothing fancy, but you can count on the basics.

This is one of L.A.'s early architectural achievements and the third-largest library in the United States. The city rallied to save the library when arson nearly destroyed it in 1986; the triumphant restoration has returned much of its original splendor. Working in the early 1920s, architect Bertram G. Goodhue employed the Egyptian motifs and materials popularized by the discovery of King Tut's... more

It?s Classic old Vegas hotel that is still privately owned. It has lost of history and used to be own by Buggy Segal in the early 1940?s. I asked for a smoking room and all the smoking rooms are conceded the ?vintage rooms?. I liked the idea I was staying in the vintage side of the hotel for nostalgic reasons, but I was a bit concerned that it would be a scary ugly dirty room, but it was... more

This is more or less what you think of with downtown, older hotels. Pretty nice, but eclipsed by its more nicely renovated neighbors. The registration is a single step from slot machines. Steakhouse, buffet and coffee shop. Modestly priced rooms make it a good deal. Not glamerous.

The El Cortez is in the older Fremont sections of town and it is pretty much what you expect...and older crowd, smoky atmosphere, lots of locals, cheap food, and no frills whatsoever. The best thing about the place is the fact that your money earns you a lot more playing time that anywhere on the Strip...so if you want to gamble, this is great...if you want all of the luxury of Vegas, go... more
