The remote gates at LAX were known as the Imperial Terminal. They were mainly used as overnight/ over "day" parking spots for international airlines. You can alway see a number of NZ, KE, OZ, and various Asian airlines in the afternoon hours.
They are also used as extra parking spots, as you possibly know that LAX Tom Bradley is a bit small. TN usually arrived during the early hours, and I always saw them parking at a gate in the main TB terminal. They were towed to the imperial terminal during the day time, while waiting for their returns to PPT during the night.

A small correction, and a very picky one, but the Imperial Terminal is located on the south side of the airport, across the runways by the air freight area, and accessed by West Imperial Drive. It was used most famously by MGM Grand Air, which flew a premium service using DC8s from LAX to JFK in the early 1990s.
