LAX / Los Angeles Int'l. Airport Terminal 4 Gate 40 and Terminal 5 Admirals Clubs
Link to LAX information on aa.com.
Link to LAX web site.
LOCATION: LAX / Los Angeles International Airport Terminal 4 Gate 40 Admirals Club is in "Concourse level across from gate 40.." (aa.com) Entry on concourse level, lift / elevator to next floor; tarmac views; assistance with AA travel-related issues; some "quieter" areas.
HOURS: See here for hours. (Although, it has been reported that the Club may indeed be opening earlier than the website-posted time).
AMENITIES
Note: The Flagship Lounge is located upstairs within the Admirals Club and requires key card access - Club receptionists issue these, and the entrance to the Flagship Lounge is immediately to the left of the upstairs Club staff / assistance desks. See this thread.
You can now travel between the American Airlines T-4 and several other terminals without leaving Security via a pedestrian tunnel.
The airside connector between T-4 and the Tom Bradley International Terminal is open.
A shuttle bus from ground level by Gate 44 connects to the Remote (American Eagle) terminal, with its own Club.
Useful tip: If you are headed to baggage claim at LAX, and you arrive at one of the higher-numbered gates (45-49), you can make it a little easier on yourself by going down the escalator to the shuttle bus terminal. Then turn left and go down another escalator to the walkway to baggage claim. This long walkway under the main concourse has a moving sidewalk. It's the same distance, but with a bit of mechanical help. There is "Baggage Claim" signage leading to those escalators.

If you have the time, the Alaska lounge in T6 is worth the trek. I connected in LAX a couple of weeks ago, checked into the AC, took one look around the packed room, and made the 10-15 minute walk. Enjoyed my pancakes.
Hopefully the T5 club will help, but I remember it being quite crowded as a Sky Club. There's not a ton of space there.

I was there last week. There has been no apparent progress on the Admirals Club side since I last reported here. Only a small area - the former FlagShip Lounge - is currently open and it is very crowded.

Is this different from the QF F lounge? I'll ultimately settle there but I always enjoyed going to the self serve bar of the AA flagship lounge. Where is the OW lounge? I may stop in to AA just to check the progress.

I'll be looking to see how they AA lounge are progressing in late August.
At TBIT, they are on the same floor - the front door of the First lounge being ~60 yards along the walkway from the entry to the OW Business lounge.
The OW J lounge is a floor down from the QF First Lounge.
