Los Angeles Laps returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 5 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. It appears as the first course of the [[Cherry Cup]]. The course has received significant visual upgrades, now being set in the day instead of sunset. The minimap has also been rotated 180 degrees. Finally, the background music has been heavily rearranged and given a jazzier sound, with most of the synths and all of the "la-la" vocals replaced with live saxophones and guitars.

The course begins at the original Los Angeles Laps' starting line, before continuing normally along the first variant until the intersection with 3, turning right and passing under another lap gate on the bridge. Los Angeles Laps 3's route is used for the second section, except at the end, instead of turning left again, racers continue straight before making a left turn into the Inglewood Oil Field, which begins Los Angeles Laps 2's route, passing under another gate to start the third and final section. After passing under pumpjacks and over a bridge, racers make their way back to the four-way central intersection, before turning right and returning to the finish line at the Santa Monica Pier. It is the third course in the ''Mario Kart'' series to open a cup and use sections, after [[Wuhu Loop]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and {{classic-link|Tour|Athens Dash}} in the [[Feather Cup]], as well as the second such course to solely use sections after Wuhu Loop. The {{wp|Venice Beach Skatepark}} now includes a [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipe]]. The parked cars have been removed. Some of the coins in the baseball-shaped formation at Dodger Stadium now rotate off-axis. Rodeo Drive's elevation has been evened out, with a less gradual jump in height entering it. A ramp with [[Dash Panel|Dash Panels]] has been added around where Los Angeles Laps 3's starting line was in ''Tour'', with another smaller one added along the upper middle route in Inglewood Oil Field. Two [[glider]] [[Ring (Mario Kart series)|rings]] with [[Item Box]]es have been added to Inglewood Oil Field, accessible using the Glide Ramp from the original iteration in ''Tour''. The shortcut along the Los Angeles Laps 3 route is now grassy, while two new ones have been added along the left turns that originally housed the starting line of Los Angeles Laps 2.

Los Angeles Laps is one of three courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to be present in the fifth wave, alongside {{classic|Tour|Athens Dash}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Vancouver Velocity}}. It is also the only course from ''Mario Kart Tour'' without any half-pipes that would later include them upon returning as a [[classic course]], and one of two among all courses in ''Tour'', as {{classic-link|3DS|Rosalina's Ice World}} also had them added to its ''Booster Course Pass'' version.
