Review:
Los Angeles is the county seat of Los Angeles County, the nation’s most populous county, and is second in population as an urban metropolis only to New York City.
The city is known as the “City of Angels,” a nod to its Spanish etymology and heritage, and is best known internationally as the home of the iconic Hollywood neighborhood, the center of American film and television and home of famed studios such as Paramount Pictures and Warner Brothers. As Southern California’s financial, commercial, and cultural center, Los Angeles is among the top 10 international cities on the Global Cities Index and the Global Economic Power Index, producing the world’s third-largest gross metropolitan product after Tokyo and New York City. 770,000 square feet of exhibit space is offered at the Los Angeles Convention Center, which is easily accessible from Los Angeles International, Hollywood Burbank, and LA/Ontario International Airports.
Major attractions include Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, which is home to the world-renowned Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a large concentration of historic and modern celebrity mansions.
