Thank god you not hittin LA, if you plan on getting into clubs especially ones with waiting lists get there early... cause after say 9.30 10pm they will hit you on a bottle service in other words you pay $300 to $600 + on a bottle of Jack to get into the club ok you get a private booth with that and all the coke you can drink with your bottle of JD or whatever bottle you have odered
good times

A couple of tips for you haynesycop when in NY.
First have a trip round the city on the open deck bus, this helps you with your bearings. Buy the ticket that covers both Up Town and Down Town. The tickets can be purchased around Times Square, but haggle with the price we never paid the price they asked. This is the cheapest way and best way of seeing the sights, and you hop on hop off as many times as you like.
Outside Macy’s of the side door there is a little café set in the gardens, they do great Mango smoothies etc. and iced drinks.
Footlocker on Times Square great for cheaper trainers, and T-shirts for the larger fit!!
Helicopter flight well worth the money, but watch the turn when he comes back via ‘’The Statue Of Liberty’’, nearly had my breakfast again there. We didn’t bother with visiting the statue, as to be honest you can’t go up inside anymore so just went to ‘’Ellis Island’’ on the free ferry, and the other half took photos from the ferry of Liberty.
You have to do a show, as that’s part of NY.
We also stayed on Broadway /54th. Street A brilliant location for access to the city and on the doorstep to Central Park. The Letterman show is filmed on Broadway adjacent to this street!
Should you choose to go up the ‘Empire State Building’, then choose your time, because if you go up about an hour before dusk you get the best of both worlds. You see the city by daylight, and also by night. Good tip that one saves you paying twice.
Niagara Falls also another good trip, but an all day one and you have to book in advance as that gets booked up very very quick.
Oh! and on the plane before you go buy yourself a headphone adapter, so you can use you own headphones from your ipod in the plane. We always fly Virgin and their headphones are a little tacky, so we use our own via the adapter..
There is loads more obviously, but this may help a little.

Sleep on a plane that leaves at 1300?? good luck!!
you won't need sleep anyway as in theory the flight is only 3 hours
you just might need an early night and then you will be well away!\\
I don't get jet lag

Sure, the Hollywood area is tacky and after dark is seedy even. But theres a hell of a lot more to L.A than the traditional touristy areas. If you like gigs then try the Hollywood Bowl, its got some of the best natural accoustics in the world. I saw the L.A. Phillamonic Orchastra there and the instruments seemed to come alive and were positively magical. Sunrise/sunset along Malibu is spiritual and why not take a drive up the coast on The Big Sur if impressive scenery is your thang?
Whereabouts did you go in L.A. fatreg as hearing somebody compare it to Blackpool is quite surprising to say the least?

LA's nightlife rocks I had a hard time deciding between that and Miami but I think il have to give it to LA for its diversity and multi ethnicities, Miami is also to damn hot..
