Tapping on wisdom of the crowd here.

Wife and I are in Vegas to celebrate New Year's Eve.

We have to be at LAX by 3pm on New Year's Day to catch our international flight back home.

Is it advisable to drive to Los Angeles on New Year's Day? If yes, would traffic be mad?

Can we drive off at 9am, and make it to LAX by 3pm?

Have read previous posts, with advice to leave Vegas as early as 4am, and wanna ask if this is still valid.

Thanks!

Been getting a lot of Shorts of a certain pizzeria in Brooklyn and was wondering if anyone knew a spot for a nice thin and crispy slice of pizza in LA.

Every time I look it on google maps I wonder how did it happen. Its seems to be a kind of a water trail??? There is any fun story behind it? Any curious fact?

So kids get bullied and schools do nothing about it? Or parents attacking kids for no reason, and schools won't take action or protect them?

Was sad to see all of the cool sculptures made from trash and household goods on Palms Ave are no longer up. How long have they been gone for? Have they been cycled out with new ones before?

Hawthorne Nursery is closing down on Tuesday forever. They're having a retirement sale, there's only 2 days left and still quite a bit of inventory. Everything is 40% off so if you need plants, potting mix, containers, pots, accessories, tools, etc. head over before they close down.

4519 W El Segundo Blvd, Hawthorne, CA 90250

Sadly, this bar will be closing at the end of the month.

20 years ago this place opened up and became a staple of the downtown bar scene over the years.

It was my go to spot for many years and the neon sign out front certainly became iconic.

I'll be there this weekend to say good bye and I hope some of you all can make it out there as well.

Goodbye Broadway Bar. You will be missed.

New year coming up. Any new laws worth mentioning or discussing?

For 8 people, wanted to go to Uovo but there’s no tables for that many. Hillstone in SM the same. Forma on Montana was annoying, put me on hold for 15 min for no reason. Need help please!!!!

Mid range priced delicious cozy restaurant for 8, not too loud, not Mexican because I’ve eaten tamales and enchiladas all week already! So Italian or American preferred.

I believe it was this sub someone wondering what this bird was ran into one the other day eating a rabbit!
