Last week, we unveiled the new and improved TPGtv, short videos that deliver tons of travel tips with smart captions so you can read all about my trip and get vital info even with the sound off. Our first video, "How to Book Singapore Suites in 90 Seconds," and has since received tens of thousands of views. (Glad you liked it!)

Now, in our new video, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at LAX's Star Alliance Lounge in the Tom Bradley International Terminal. Sure, I love the 18,000 square-foot space, the shower suites, the gourmet buffet and the self-serve bar, but one of the coolest parts was the top-secret celebrity VIP room. Where is it and what's inside? Check out the video below for a special sneak peek.

Can't wait to see what I'm working on next? Follow along with all my travel adventures on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat for a behind-the-scenes look at what's coming up on TPGtv, and don't forget to subscribe to The Points Guy on YouTube — you'll be notified as soon as each new episode appears.
