In LA, towards the Valley, there's Universal Studios, and the City Walk. Parking is not free, but you can park at the bottom off Lankershim and take the shuttle up to the area. You can even try being in the audience in a TV or Game show by checking the "audiences unlimited" booth. If you write in advance, try getting tickets for the Tonight Show.
The Chinese Theater in Hollywood Blvd has the famous hand prints, and if you're in town for a movie premiere, check out the celebrities walking down the red carpet.
Not too far from Hollywood Blvd, You can also go and see the expensive shops on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills or the famous Farmer's Market near the CBS studios.
If you like Comedy you can check out one of the many comedy clubs on the Sunset Strip. Check out the Hustler store, and if you are near the Flynt Publications building, sometimes you can see Larry Flynt's limo (you really can't miss the naked woman painted on the limo!).
In August the X-Games will be in the Staples Center in LA. Check that out!
LA has historical places to visit and ethnic places like China town and Olvera (little Mexico) Street.
And since its summertime you can catch a baseball game with the Dodgers or in Orange County you have the Angels.
In Orange County, about 45 minutes south of LA, is Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, the oldest theme park in the west, and home of "The OC" from the TV show.
The city of Huntington Beach is home of "surf city" where you can see the pro beach volleyball and the surf contests.
Half hour south of Orange County is Carlsbad which has outlet shopping, LegoLand (for kids really), and half hour south of that is San Diego and then Mexico.
There's some of the "must see" that I would suggest to someone visiting.

Currently with the weather that we are having I would say the beach is the best place to be (Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Huntington) You should also consider checking out a couple of museums (Huntington Library, Getty's, Miracle Mile) Do some shopping at Santi Alley, the Citadel in Commerce, the Grove, Melrose Ave, or if you prefer to widow shop... Rodeo Drive. Wanna get something to eat try the Universal City Walk, Farmers Market, Windows restaurant Downtown LA or thousands of other places. Wanna do the tourist thing try Hollywood Blvd, Sunset Blvd, 3rd Street Promenade (Santa Monica), Griffith Park Observatory and Catch a Sunset, Gambling... (Bicycle Casino, Commerce Casino, Hustler Casino or if you prefer to drive to the desert many of the Native American Casino's), Disneyland, magic Mountain, Knotts, Universal Studios, Night Life... Try Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood or Sunset Strip... Wanna club with a view? the Standard in Downtown LA is the way to go.

Go up on Mulholland at night and take a gander at the city lights. Beautiful and magical.
Unfortunately, the music/club scene isn't what it once was -- not very interesting anymore.

Get a map and see the stars homes. That's fun and you may actually see one. Go to Venice Beach, it's full of "colorful" locals, and weird shopping.

Hollywood is pretty fun. Also, I find the Disneyland Resort to still be a fun place to go to.
