It is the only place close by that has enough ramp space for the heavy jets, and they can easily close a couple of runways for parking. The visitors will head downtown for the parties, while the pilots stay at the cheaper places around LGB.
Signature and Atlantic at LAX don’t have a lot of ramp, and you can bet the parking fees are going to be OUT OF THIS WORLD… Even a Quick drop is likely in the thousands of dollars. Same for Burbank.
If you want to see the celebs arriving, my suggestion would be to hang out at Hawthorne Jet Center, it is probably going to be “Citation Central”. I imagine that both HHR and LGB will be really busy.
