'''Los Angeles Laps''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It takes place in {{wp|Los Angeles}}, {{wp|California}}, [[United States of America|United States]], and as such it makes its debut in the city's namesake tour, the [[Los Angeles Tour (2020)|2020 Los Angeles Tour]]. However, the course itself also includes landmarks from the greater {{wp|Los Angeles County, California|Los Angeles County}}, such as the {{wp|Santa Monica Pier}} and the {{wp|Inglewood Oil Field}}. Los Angeles Laps has three separate routes called Los Angeles Laps, '''Los Angeles Laps 2''', and '''Los Angeles Laps 3'''. The third route debuted first in the [[Los Angeles Tour (2021)|2021 Los Angeles Tour]] while the second route debuted in the [[Los Angeles Tour (2022)|2022 Los Angeles Tour]]. The first route features the Santa Monica Pier and {{wp|Venice,_Los_Angeles#Venice_Beach|Venice Beach}}, the second route focuses on the Inglewood Oil Field, while the third route takes racers over {{wp|Dodger Stadium}} and through {{wp|Beverly Hills}}. Unlike other city courses, each route of Los Angeles Laps takes place in an entirely different part of the overall track, with every route having its own [[Finish line (object)|finish line]] position: another characteristic unique to this course. The inclusion of this course makes the United States the only country to be represented by more than one city course, with [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]] having been introduced prior.

Los Angeles Laps appears as a classic course in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first course of the [[Cherry Cup]]. Its theme was arranged for the ''Booster Course Pass''{{'}} end credits.

Several landmarks of Los Angeles and Santa Monica can be seen throughout each of Los Angeles Laps' layouts, which are {{wp|777 Tower}}, {{wp|Beverly Hills City Hall}}, {{wp|Capitol Records Building}}, {{wp|Dodger Stadium}}, {{wp|Inglewood Oil Field}}, {{wp|Los Angeles City Hall}}, {{wp|Los Angeles Convention Center}}, {{wp|Muscle Beach}}, {{wp|Rodeo Drive Walk of Style}}, {{wp|Santa Monica Pier}}, {{wp|Tongva Park}}, {{wp|Venice Beach}} and the {{wp|Venice Beach Skatepark}}, {{wp|Griffith Observatory}}, {{wp|Getty Center}}, and the {{wp|Westin Bonaventure Hotel}}.

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.

Prior to the course's official announcement for the Booster Course Pass, a very brief portion of Los Angeles Laps' music was present within the internal data for ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' in version 2.1.0. The filename for the music snippet was "Cnsw_48", meaning it was assigned to the fourth and last course of the [[Boomerang Cup]] in the Booster Course Pass, included in the fourth wave. Los Angeles Laps was not present in the fourth wave of the downloadable content; however, [[Tour Bangkok Rush|Bangkok Rush]], a course labelled internally as a Wave 5 course, was implying that it and Los Angeles Laps were switched at one point in development.
