Here is a link to the L. A. Live website.

And from the New York Times:
36 Hours in Downtown Los Angeles
THE sprawl, the scale, all that freeway time — for many, Los Angeles is an acquired taste. But not downtown. New York-like in its density and mishmash, the long-blighted center has become an accessible, pedestrian-friendly destination in recent years; Angelenos walk around en masse, using their actual legs. The immense L.A. Live entertainment complex is largely responsible for this comeback, but the studiously vintage bars and imaginative restaurants that seem to open every other day are also part of the revival.

N. Y. Times map of recommendations
Another source for Downtown Los Angeles activities is Downtown LA Walks. With two young kids you may find the Toy District of interest.

Does the beverly hill hilton offer free shuttle bus to the airport , and is there a hertz , fox or any car rental places i can drop the car off nearby. It seems im going to get stung with parking and paying $40+ per day which is more than the costs of the car !
The Beverly Hilton does not provide an airport shuttle. You can take a taxi, a limo or Super Shuttle.

I believe that the nearest Hertz location is less than a mile away at the Century Plaza Hotel in Century City (map). The car rental closest to the hotel is Budget Rent-a-Car on the opposite corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards from the hotel (map). The hotel's Services & Amenities webpage lists a Car Rental Desk, but does not mention which agencies are represented.

By the way, it is Las Vegas, not Los Vegas.
