I'm a newbie to BetterBidding.... Will also be In LA around those dates (8-15th June) and wandering where best to stay in the city as tourists on holiday from Australia. We'll be doing the touristy things (Hollywood, Universal Studios, Venice Beach, MOCA, shopping etc) as well as catching a show at the Hollywood Bowl and trying to get into the studio audience for Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Hotwire currently has a 3.5* hotel in Downtown LA for $74 but worried about lack of after hours local restaurants etc. Don't want to be stuck in a relative ghost-town after dark!
