Fly Me to the Moon (or Staples Center)
Los Angeles by helicopter at night is spectacular, a breathtaking pastiche of colors and shapes that so few get to enjoy. Our rooftop helipad near the Staples Center is a great place to begin and end the flight.
“Y,” because We Love You…
It's a healthy but doable walk up Mt. Lee by the old Batman cave to see the Hollywood sign as most folks never do.

The Gun That Won The West
There is no more romantic firearm than the Colt six-shooters that blazed across the west as the country was settled. Make visiting the Autry National Center a part of your experience when you tour Los Angeles, Hollywood and Beverly Hills. The Autry Museum in Griffith Park, across from the Los Angeles Zoo, is a world renowned cultural center whose mission is to tell the story of the west from the perspective of ALL the people involved (settlers, native Americans, farmers, ranchers and visitors). Among the many ongoing exhibits is the firearms display with over 130 Colt handguns and artifacts. There are also Winchester rifles on display and many other examples of firearms of those times. Whether you live in or around Los Angeles or are visiting from afar, take an opportunity to spend some time at the Autry and better appreciate those Zane Grey novels that you so love.

Need a Little Magic in Your Life?
One of Hollywood’s real treats is a fine dinner followed by an extravagant stage show of illusions presented by the world’s greatest magicians. Even more fun is the setting — a great old home full of tricks of its own. Besides the grand stage there are numerous small stages and performing areas for “up close and personal” magical experiences. Extend your tour of Los Angeles and Hollywood with a dinner and show reservation at this unique and special – “magical” – place.
