A Night on the Town at L.A. Live

Catch dinner and a concert in downtown’s sizzling entertainment center

With 4 million square feet of top restaurants, nightclubs, and a major concert venue, L.A. LIVE  is as bright and flashy as the city that gave it its name. Huge video screens surround an expansive plaza that has emerged as one L.A.’s favorite new gathering places, all right across from the equally popular Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Sparks and the Los Angeles Kings.

In the $2.5 billion complex, the 7,100-seat Nokia Theatre offers a surprisingly intimate, state-of-the-art concert hall where you can catch top performers and shows throughout the year. For a more intimate experience, Club Nokia brings in top acts to play in a dramatic and modern setting. L.A. LIVE is also home to the outstanding Grammy Museum, which takes you inside the recording world with interactive exhibits, lectures, and performances. Check out Katy Perry’s Carmen Miranda get-up, read Elvis’ early fan mail, or learn to record your own demo.

Still looking for fun? L.A. LIVE includes movie theaters, Lucky Strike Lanes for bowling, and salsa dancing at the Conga Room.
