I frequently land at LAX after midnight on late flights from JFK, ORD, MIA and DFW and unless it's stormy and winds are blowing from the east, all my approaches are from the east to the west.

A couple times a year, storms cause all operations to turn around, with takeoffs and landings to the east.
