The
Sunset Strip is the name given to the mile-and-a-half (2.4 km) stretch of
Sunset Boulevard that passes through
West Hollywood, California. It extends from West Hollywood's eastern border with
Hollywood at Havenhurst Drive, to its western border with
Beverly Hills at Sierra Drive. The Strip is probably the best-known portion of Sunset, embracing boutiques, restaurants, rock clubs, and
nightclubs that are on the cutting edge of the entertainment industry. It is also known for its trademark array of huge, colorful
billboards.
