Sunset Strip, Entertainment district in West Hollywood, US

The Sunset Strip is the 1.7-mile (2.7 km) stretch of Sunset Boulevard running through West Hollywood, from Marmont Lane at the Los Angeles border to Phyllis Street at the Beverly Hills border. It is lined with boutiques, restaurants, rock clubs, nightclubs and large colorful billboards.

This section of Sunset Boulevard began gaining importance in the 1920s as Hollywood developed into the film capital. By the 1960s the street had become the main spot for nightlife and rock music in the city.

The Comedy Store, Whisky a Go Go, and The Roxy Theatre maintain their status as primary entertainment venues, shaping Los Angeles comedy and music scenes.

Visitors reach the area by public bus or the free shuttle that runs between stops during the day. Metered parking spaces line the entire street section, though competition for spots is often heavy in the evening.

The Strip's eastern end is marked by Marmont Lane, next to the Chateau Marmont, and its western end by Phyllis Street at the Beverly Hills line. The 1.7-mile stretch lies entirely within West Hollywood, which was unincorporated Los Angeles County until voters approved cityhood in November 1984.
