I will be out of town for a week and my LX150 will get no use at all during that time. Is there anything I should do when storing it to ensure it starts up properly when I get back?

I leave my Vespa in the barn all winter. Around here, that meant from early November until mid-May this past winter. I forgot to put it on the Battery Tender. The only thing I did was to put a cork in the exhaust to keep mice out.

It started up fine. Mine quite often goes a week or more at a stretch without being started.

I envy the fact that you even have to ask this question.

Yes, leaving it for a week won't do anything to the scooter, you might have with drawls though.
