Olivera Street - the real root of Los Angeles and it's Mexican beginnings.
Venice Beach.
Santa Monica Pier.
Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu.
Stand behind the Hollywood sign at night and see the lights of the city.
Cruise Mulholland drive and Deadman's Curve.
Drive Sunset Blvd from downtown all the way to the beach.
Drive across the Vincent Thomas bridge near San Pedro and view the true armpit of the nation.
Tito's Tacos at Washington Blvd and the 405 Freeway.
Good Stuff On the Strand in Hermosa Beach.
Tony's on the Redondo Beach Pier.
Angel's Flight.
and of course the normal touristy things, like Hollywood and Vine, the Walk of Fame, Universal Studios, Disneyland, Knotts' Berry Farm, Magic Mountain...
You'd have to stay a year to see it all, and you didn't say what your tastes or preferences were....

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.
