Cheap Hollywood

Seeing stars during awards season doesn't have to be too much of a hassle. Check out the Hollywood Walk of Fame page before your visit to see if there are any ceremonies you'd like to see. Just show up at the location a little early and it's free to watch.

Cheap Golden Globes

With security the way it is you can't get within 500 feet of the Beverly Hilton the weekend of January 14-15 because of the Golden Globes show and the hotel only allows red carpet access to guests who pay a premium for staying that weekend. If you're in town and want to see some stars as they leave for the Hilton, head over to the Montage on North Canon where many of the out-of-towners stay, sip a $7 beer or $12 merlot in the lobby lounge and act cool as they leave for the night.
