Hollywood's most sought-after DJ, Adam Goldstein (aka DJ AM), joined forces with Las Palmas owner Loyal Pennings to make the club over into an airport-themed lounge for Hollywood jet-setters.

Located in the heart of Hollywood amidst internationally themed clubs like Mood and Spider Club, LAX has the feel of a first-class airport cabin. This destination nightspot takes passengers on a head-spinning flight with its mirrors shaped like airplane windows, an orb-shaped jellyfish tank behind the backlit bar and a metal hangar door that leads to one of the two outside patios. The dance floor is a bit cramped—like dancing in an airplane cabin—but the bathrooms here are spacious, giving plenty of legroom for jet-setters to join the mile-high club. Bonus points for deviation from the theme: The grub served here is actually edible. The small menu includes mini burgers and spring rolls, but don't be surprised if the kitchen runs out: The owners don't overstock. Coach-flying clubbers may encounter some turbulence getting past the velvet rope and there's no use trying to find cheap tickets online: This is an exclusive ride.—Alexandra Le Tellier
