At the top of the US Bank building there is an exhibit highlighting Los Angeles. It's the 2nd tallest building west of the Mississippi. The tallest is also downtown. They also offer a glass slide ride down the side of the building. It only goes down 1 or 2 floors and isn't as cool as you want it to be.
