Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles

If the Playboy Mansion's walls could talk, they would recount a bestselling memoir of raucous parties thrown by its owner, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, and plenty of naughty debauchery (most notably in its famous 'grotto.'). The Gothic-Tudor style mansion on Charing Cross in the Holmby Hills neighborhood became famous in the '70s for its exclusive and wild parties. These days, it seems the private manor's exclusivity has waned as the mansion's doors are open to just about anyone willing to cough up the money to enter during special events nights featuring Playboy house DJs as well as visiting talent.
