Try adding an "Itemize*" environment to layouts/stdlists.inc. Eg
(untested):

# Itemize style definition
Style Itemize*
  Margin                Static
  LatexType             Item_Environment
  LatexName             itemize*
  NextNoIndent          1
  LeftMargin            MMN
  LabelSep              xx
  ItemSep               0.2
  TopSep                0.7
  BottomSep             0.7
  ParSep                0.3
  Align                 Block
  AlignPossible         Block, Left
  LabelType             Static
  LabelString           *
End

Tune the appearence on the lyx screen to suit. If you don't care about
that, then you may even be able to whittle it down to:

Style Itemize*
  CopyStyle             Itemize
  Margin                Static
  LatexName             itemize*
  LabelType             Static
End

Experiment!
