Welcome to LA.  This is it.  The birthplace of the motion picture industry.  The home of Hollywood.  And if you’re a fan of HBO’s smash hit comedy series Entourage, here’s a juicy little treat for you: the LA you see on the screen is real.  A-list hang outs.  Million-dollar parties.  Sexy stars.  Los Angeles has it all.  So rally up your own entourage and scope out the real-life hot spots you can’t get enough of on the show.

ALL ACCESS
Entourage sneaks a peek at the day-to-day life of Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier) – a hot young actor in modern-day Hollywood – and his entourage:  manager Eric (Kevin Connolly), half-brother Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon), friend Turtle (Jerry Ferrara), and superagent Ari (Jeremy Piven), and Ari's long-suffering assistant Lloyd (Rex Lee).  But you don’t need to break into the biz to get a glimpse of their larger-than-life world.  All you need to get behind the scenes is a day in LA.

Admit it.  Sometimes you turn a slight shade of green with envy watching Vince and the gang cruise in their slick Continental as the opening credits of Entourage roll by.  Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.  Hustler Hollywood.  Mel’s Drive-in.  Every shot is filmed right here.  And now it’s finally your turn to explore.  From the Sunset Strip, to Hollywood and Highland, to Cahuenga.  Some of the world’s most famous stretches of road are right beneath your feet.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
In LA, it’s all about location.  And after five seasons of Entourage, you’ve probably got an endless list of places you’re dying to check out.  The boys have been surrounded by models at Fred Segal.  They've attended premieres at ArcLight Cinemas.  Eric and Ari’s first power dinner is at Koi.  Dates at Lucky Strike Lanes, drinks at Chateau Marmont, star-studded Laker's games at STAPLES Center - the list is practically endless.  If you’re craving a tofu scramble á la Johnny Drama, grab some healthy grub at Real Food Daily.  Or follow the gang to super-hip eateries like 24-hour Fred 62 and Pink’s Hot Dogs.

Here in LA, anything is possible.  Get ready to eat, party and live like a star.  We don’t make this stuff up.  It happens here.  Don’t forget to catch re-airs of Entourage on HBO2 and HBO Comedy.  And if you’re still in need of a little extra Chase, check www.hbo.com/entourage.
