Los Angeles

Los Angeles features the LA Live Complex around the Staples Center. It offers restaurants, movie theaters, and a bowling alley right by the arena. It also has several hotels right on the campus.

That definitely makes for a good bubble for the teams. It would be great for players because the weather is nice for their time off. It also features some nice restaurants like two Wolfgang Puck restaurants, a steak house, and Patxi’s Pizza.

Unfortunately, LA is a COVID-19 hot spot right now. I don’t love the area for that reason. It’s seen as second-fiddle to Vegas anyway.
