Los Angeles might host the 2024 Summer Olympic Games!  From NBC:

Los Angeles has officially entered the running to become the host of the 2024 Summer Olympics, vying for the honor with Boston and Dallas, a Southern California Olympic official said Thursday.

The mayors of San Francisco and San Jose were both sent letters to see if they were interested in making a bid, and both leaders declined.

It's a different story in LA. In a letter to the United States Olympic Committee dated March 4, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa confirmed his city's "enthusiastic interest" in a bid for the Olympic Games -- a process that takes years and millions of dollars to complete if LA can beat out other U.S. cities. Los Angeles hosted the games in the Coliseum twice before -- once in 1932 and once in 1984.
