my visits to the crypto arena is only to watch the LA Kings, nothing else. my last visit was bc of HK night. duh. food - overpriced - but we are still willing to pay service - i think they are doing alright with the mass of fans it is actually a pretty clean and organized experience every time! parking: depending on the game : $20+ but most lots now take cards! read more

I happen to win a contest at my job and I got a two Laker tickets and I took off and went. It was a Thursday night. I left work a little early had a little pregaming at Emmy's. Made our way into the crypto...decent seats. My only complaint is how expensive beer is, but there was excellent service. There was a guy who was running food up and down and drinks up and down Forrest loved it. You know everyone's all excited when the game is on so that I'm ambience was lit. It was a great game. It was Lakers vs. 76ers. Lakers won! read more

Very good arena with good eats. Extremely surprised the parking garage directly across from the arena was only $40 Low rating not for the arena. It's related to the way the Lakers played on Xmas day against the Rockets. They should be ashamed of themselves for the price they charge for tickets and merch to play that poorly. read more

I'm both a paying customer and an employee at Crypto.com Arena, and I can honestly say I enjoy being here from both sides. They've made some recent upgrades that really improved the overall ambiance. The layout and flow of the arena feel smooth and easy to navigate. It's not too big where you feel lost, but not too small either--it hits a nice balance. The design is fairly simple, but it works and keeps the focus on the event. Staff is usually helpful, and while security can be strict at times, that's expected at a venue like this. One of the best parts is the location. Being right next to L.A. Live makes it super convenient to grab food or drinks before or after an event. There's a lot to choose from, which makes the whole experience better. If you haven't been here for a concert or game yet, it's definitely worth checking out. Take a look at their event schedule--you'll likely find something that makes the trip worth it. read more

I took in a Kings game for their home opener (they lost). I'm not gong to lie, it was fun and even though I had absolute nosebleed seats for $66, I had a really good vantage point. Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden sang the National Anthem and led the crowd with the beating of the drum, but not before yelling out "scream for me Los Angeles!!!!". I even saw the Kings Play-by play announcers Jim Fox and Daryl Evans! Even though they lost to Colorado, a good time was had and I will be back again! read more

Went for a Los Angeles Kings game in the B-level suite. From parking, entry into the stadium and getting into the suite, it was extremely smooth. Once inside the suite, food and drinks were already setup for all of us to enjoy. As things were running low, the staff was ready to take another order to ensure we were well fed and comfortable. Mid-game, a dessert cart rolled by and it was a nice little treat. Food was your typical stadium food: chicken nuggets, hot dogs, nachos, vegetable platter, sodas and wine/beers. The red velvet cake from the dessert cart was massive and moist. Staff is phenomenal here and cannot recommend them enough! Can't wait to go back again! read more

Got great seats to the premier level tickets for a Lakers game. Got to have separate entrance to get into the arena. We had service at our seat where we can order food without having to line up at the concession stand. Ordered burger and chicken tenders with fries. The food was ok stadium food, definitely a bit pricy but it is probably the going rate for sporting events. The vibe at the Lakers game was great. Good crowd and bonus that lakers won. read more

The second I walked into Crypto Arena, I swear it felt like the city suddenly leveled up. Every time I come here, you can literally see the glow up happening in real time. The upgrades feel luxurious, intentional, and honestly a little cinematic. It's giving futuristic New York with just enough LA sparkle to remind you that you're still in the sunshine capital of the world. The lights felt brighter, the crowds were buzzing in the happiest way, and everyone around me seemed like they were having the time of their lives. It's that perfect holiday season warmth where strangers feel like friends and the whole place carries this electric joy that makes you forget you're even paying for parking. Speaking of parking, yes I parked on the street and yes it was expensive at five dollars an hour, but since I only swing by a couple times a year it genuinely didn't bother me. It felt like a tiny tax for a flawless night and honestly I've paid way more for way worse vibes elsewhere. Inside though, the atmosphere took over instantly. It felt safe, lively, and full of energy in that really good crowded way where everything feels alive and nothing feels overwhelming. By the time I sat down, the show hadn't even started and I was already impressed by how much this arena has invested in keeping the experience fresh and modern. I walked out feeling like LA just keeps outdoing itself and Crypto Arena is one of the reasons why. If this is how good it feels now, I can only imagine how incredible it's going to get in the years to come. Five stars without hesitation and yes I will absolutely be back for my seasonal dose of sparkle. read more

This was my first time at Crypto and as far as venues go, I was pretty impressed. I came to see Sabrina Carpenter at a sold out show. I arrived about an hour after doors opened and got in with no line at all, so security and ticketing felt super efficient. They have so many good food and drink options--it was actually hard to decide, which was a nice problem to have. There were merch booths all over, too, so it was easy to find one without a long line. For a sold out show, nothing felt overly crowded--not the bathrooms or the drink stands. It was also really easy to find our seats (even though we were basically sitting on the ceiling), and the view was still great. I didn't drive, so I can't speak to parking, but Uber drop-off was easy and smooth. read more

I loved my time at Crypto.com Arena. I'm a huge Lebron fan so being able to see him live was a once in a lifetime experience. Luka and Reaves are must watch tv. The Lakers are in great hands for the future. Being able to see Luka hit a game winner against the Nuggets in overtime was amazing! The stadium went into a frenzy. The fans in LA are passionate so it's great energy in the building. There are tons of bars and restaurant options right outside of the stadium. All of the statues outside of the stadium were phenomenal from Magic to Shaq to Kobe to Baylor to Kareem to West. This arena is iconic and I am blessed to be able to experience it live! read more

Food: A+*****This is one of my favorite places in the world to watch a game LIVE! I highly recommend paying the extra money to sit in the Hyde Lounge where all your food and some beverages are free (beer, wine, and sodas). I love the charcuterie board section of their all-you-can-eat buffet - soooo good for nibbling finger food while focusing on the game. Service: B **** It's good. I wish there was a place you could go up and fetch your own wine and beers from a bartender but you have to wait for them to make their rounds. I swear back in the day you could do that. Other than that, I have no companions; they're fun servers! Ambiance: A***** Watching a game with a bunch of fans, what else can you ask for? Plus you have one of the best seats in the house with amazing food, you can't go wrong. It never disappoints! read more

We went to watch the Lakers game at my brothers company suit. There is no better way to watch a game! We had VIP tickets, from the parking to the private entrance everything about the experience was top-notch! We had a fully stocked fridge with alcohol, waters and sodas, Food was catered and so delicious. The service is amazing and top-notch everyone there was so friendly and nice.

This review is specifically for the Crypto Arena tour, and I was honestly very impressed. I loved learning about the history, but what really surprised me was how in depth the tour was. Even though the tours are pretty new, I wasn't expecting them to go into so much detail or take us to so many different areas. They definitely exceeded my expectations. Brandon was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire experience even better. Thank you again, Brandon, for such an amazing tour! read more

This place is self explanatory but the bag policy really ticks me off! I came in for a concert and a laker game!! Parked a block away $25. Pretty good! So I thought is was a clear bag policy & certain size! Then I seen online a strict "No bag policy" thankfully I didn't take anything but being there I was even more confused so many purses and bags were let in! I did see them let a white dude pass and turn away a Spanish speaking lady! Both with similar fannypacks. I hate to point that out but I seen what I seen! So I guess its just depends who you get! read more

What's not to like? I've been coming here for years and it always delivers. This trip was for a Sparks game. Entry was smooth, security was attentive, and the staff made the whole process easy. I was able to bring in what I needed without a hitch. The sound system was crisp, the game-day energy was strong, and service throughout was professional. I also had the chance to teach a seminar in the Lexus Lounge, which added another level to the experience. The space was comfortable, well run, and left a great impression on the group. Food in Delta 360 club was nice and courtside. Crypto keeps raising the bar. Consistent, organized, and always a good time. Rating: 5 Basketballs read more

Came for a basketball game to see the one and only Angel Reese! The venue didn't disappoint! I don't live far, so it was a quick walk over! The entrance was a bit confusing, because there are multiple, but once you get inside, everything is pretty easy to locate! The workers are super friendly and helpful in case you need to locate your seat. There are lots of food options as well! We got a suite for the first time, and it was NICEEEEEE! There were TVs, a microwave, a table, outlets, and a nice, unobstructed view! I absolutely loved it! The statues outside are always going to be iconic! The Kobe one hits too hard! I don't know what it's like to park at the venue, however I recommend getting there early, or maybe even finding some street parking somewhere and taking a short walk! read more

Came here for a Kings vs. Chicago Blackhawks hockey game. Walking into the arena was a lot of fun we had VIP entrance, and the overall vibe was full of excitement. As a Chicago Blackhawks fan, I was especially excited to catch them playing while I was in town. We grabbed a drink on the way to our seats and were sitting in the premium section. Once we got there, we took a few pictures and enjoyed the in-seat service, which was super convenient since we didn't have to get up to order anything. The gentleman working our section was very friendly, attentive, and did a great job. There were a lot of Blackhawks fans around us, so we definitely didn't feel out of place. While the service and drinks were good, the food quality was disappointing. By the time it reached our seats, everything was cold especially the french fries, which were rock hard. I also ordered popcorn, which was cold as well. I understand it's a hockey game, but the food should still be warm by the time it arrives. Unfortunately, the Blackhawks lost, which wasn't ideal, but overall it was a lot of fun. I would absolutely attend another hockey game or event at Crypto.com Arena again I just wouldn't order food next time. read more

I accidentally purchased Premium Seating and boy am I glad I did! We took an escalator to our floor and were greeted with clean restrooms with no lines and a bar that only took about 8 minutes of wait time in a line with a super friendly bartender! I go to concerts a lot and can't wait to go to another one here. I usually stay in a hotel close by and just take the less than 6 minute walk directly to the stadium. This is by far, the easiest one I've ever gone to. read more

My family and I celebrated a birthday at Crypto Arena (Lakers vs Rockets). The experience is captivating and enchanting. Location is sparkly clean; staff is welcoming/professional; and the energy is electric. The rhythmic chants of "We love Luka" felt endearing and sweet. Unfortunately, the food is subpar and overpriced. We ordered food at Crypto Arena's "Spotlight Grill" to take to our Suite. The Nachos ($11) came unassembled; it's a barely warm nacho cheese cup, a salty Tostitos chip bag, and a small side of jalapeños. The hotdog ($9) came wrinkly and shriveled. The hotdog's meat is thick and plump, but it's a relatively small hotdog. The Korean Chicken Popcorn bites ($18) tasted the best. The tender, well-breaded, well-seasoned chicken sits on a bounty of waffle fries. The ambiance is enchanting. We had Suite tickets in the VIP section, so we clearly saw the entire court. The box suite's interior included a personal sink, side tv, chargers, trashcan, and additional seats. It's very roomy and clean. Lovely experience! Also, staff is charming, welcoming, and very professional. The sweet, helpful staff member (Maria) gave my family a "Happy Birthday Pin." And the elevator staff members (one named Robert) were quick to wish a "Happy Birthday." All staff acted professional, welcoming, and kind. Overall, Crypto Arena sparked a magical, lovely experience. Despite the subpar food and prices, the mesmerizing and captivating event created an atmosphere of joy throughout the stadium. The entire crowd erupted in applause whenever our muscular Los Angeles Luka or charismatic Bronny scored their points. We appreciate you, Crypto Arena! 4.5/5 read more

this rating should be a 0 Not about the area but about Crypto.com. no other place for me to leave a complaint. I have been trying to get my dads account closed for almost 3 months now after he passed in Jan. I provided all of what the they asked for and last request was almost 2 months ago asking for how to send funds for his estate. And then nothing. can only communicate via chat and ever week I get the same canned response " know how important this matter for you, No worries, rest assured that I will keep you posted with any updates as soon as I receive them. Your patience is greatly appreciated." or something very close to that. 2 months and they are unable to tell me anything or any other way to communicate with them. DO NOT PUT ANY MONEY WITH THEM. read more

I had an absolute blast at this past Lakers game. The Lakers vs the Wembanyama-less Spurs was the best Lakers game I've been to. It was just pretty basketball, if you know what I mean. Be sure to take some time before your event to check out all of the player statues outside of the arena. Did you spot the Kobe and Gigi statue? Look for parking around the area if you want to save a few bucks and don't mind walking. Stadium parking is $40+ I believe, but you can find $20 parking nearby. There's plenty to eat around the arena, so plan on eating before you get into the arena. As you might expect, prices are pretty steep inside, and even a water will run you ~$8 There's really not a terrible seat here. The stadium feels cozy, even if you're near the top. Have fun and go Lakers!!! read more

Formerly Staples Center and I still call it Staples Center to this day lol. Located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles this arena is for the Lakers, Kings , Sparks and concerts as well as other events as well. Parking is tough and expensive unless you take an Uber/Lyft or other public transportation. Food and drinks are outrageous here in cost. Service is ok the staff however are pretty friendly and helpful. The atmosphere here can be fun depending on the event you are attending. Overall it's a nice arena I've been here many times for events. read more

Overall a good experience coming here for a LA Kings game. Ticket for the game was more than reasonable. The staff got us into the venue quick and theres staff everywhere. There was a long line for the free jerseys included in the tickets but the staff got us moving along quick. Lots of restrooms located everywhere. The seats were solid and clean. The only complaint is probably the food and drinks are expensive but thats typical for all Arenas. Parking is expensive too but thats for the parking structure's review not Crypto. read more

While Crypto is still Staples Center to me, I hadn't been here in years. Yet, I've found myself here twice in the last couple of month to watch both the Lakers and the Kings. I had been here for concerts before but never for sports games and was actually impressed by how nice it was to see a sports event here. We sat in both the 300 section and the PR section for our games, and both had great views. PR section had its own designated food areas as well as servers that came around to your seat to take orders. While food and drink are definitely pricey - I paid nearly $25 for a tall seltzer - this aspect was very convenient. Great screens to highlight the action. Always disappointing when you can't see what's going on. Parking isn't as bad as I would expect for a big venue. You can either park at the arena or one of the many local lots. I've never actually parked AT the arena, and I'm able to get to and from the arena on foot easily as well as get out without too much traffic. I don't know how much it costs at Crypto, but I've usually paid about $30 at these external lots. Overall, not a bad experience, especially compared to other arenas. Wouldn't mind coming back for another game or concert. read more

Came to watch the mighty OILERS crush the life out of the LA KINGS in 2024 NHL Playoffs. Arena is an urban venue located the heart of downtown LA. It's not a very up close experience for fans due to it being a multi use venue. But it's fine just not exceptional. For concerts I saw THE FINAL MOTELY CRUE show on 12/31/2015 and was front row. Security was amazing that night and didn't allow a single person who didn't have a ticket up front. Thank you security our evening was amazing. As for THE CRUE well I guess that wasn't the last show cause LIVE NATION pulled up the money truck for them to unretire ! Plenty of pair in the area and many dining establishments around building. Make sure you check out KOBE " BLACK MAMBA's " Bryant's statue out front ! Well, it's just a building so go enjoy your event. I'm out! read more

"THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE." ~shoplifters It saddens me to see kids spending so much time online these days. When we were kids we experienced the physical world... learning things to prepare us for adulting. Invaluable life skills such as throwing sharp objects at each other, drinking cheap alcohol, and shoplifting at the mall. But for the un-initiated of the endorphin-boosting art of shoplifting, there is a store on the Main Level at Crypto that approximates that experience. The "JUST WALK OUT" shop has no cashiers, no security guards, and no cash transacted at all. You grab whatever sh*t you want, stuff 'em in your oversized coat pockets, and walk out without looking back! The technology was created by Amazon for use in their own stores (Amazon Fresh / Whole Foods) but later expanded to third-parties. The system uses AI, weight sensors, and cameras to enable shoppers to shop without checking out. Once you exit and think you're in the clear, a charge is made on that credit card you thought was safely tucked away in your wallet. Amazon claims that the Just Walk Out technology is installed in 200+ stores globally. Because the tech is best used with pre-packaged grocery items, prepared hot foods, and magazines... you will see it at stadiums, airports, and college campuses. You know, where the shoplifters and pick-pockets hang out. And what if you change your mind about an item? You just place it back on the shelf. Supposedly you will only be charged for the products you have when you exit. Due to previous junk hotel charges for just glancing at items in the minibar, I was careful not to touch anything. I did ask another shopper to hand me a Twix Bar though. How does it work? Well, the system links your physical embodiment to the payment card that's used to unlock the entrance turnstile. The cameras detect when your hand interacts with a product on the shelf. The machine learning algorithm makes sure the correct item and quantity is added to your virtual cart. I have no clue how to get a receipt or a refund. On DoorDash, when I ask for a refund for a missing item, the AI support bot asks me to take a photo of the missing item... so I'm assuming it works much the same way. #FutureIsNowButItSux Pro tip: if I were a kid today, I would shoplift things from the Dollar Store and return them to Five Below for a nifty profit read more

Went to a Los Angeles Kings game last Saturday at Crypto.com Arena to watch Anže Kopitar, number 11. Been watching him since his rookie days, so it felt right to go see him after 20 seasons plus his retirement of this year. But being there honestly confirmed why I stepped away from sports entertainment. The place felt **disgusting**. Everywhere you look--ads pushing **poison** food, **poison** alcohol, nonstop consumption. I get it, it's business... but let's be real, there's already enough money coming in from tickets, merch, and everything else. At some point it just feels like greedy lobbying for products that are straight up harming people. What really hit me was how normalized it all is. You see people struggling to move, clearly dealing with health issues, but still being fed the same junk inside. That's not community--that's a cycle. And it felt **gross** being part of it. They talk about fan appreciation, they salute veterans, but outside those walls we all know there are real issues people are dealing with every day. It starts to feel like distraction more than appreciation. What are we teaching kids in that space? That enjoyment means drinking, getting drunk, and loading up on junk while watching sports? That's not culture--that's programming the next generation to repeat the same cycles of alcoholism? Maybe I've just changed, but that environment doesn't align with me anymore. That might've been my last time stepping into that arena. Anyone else feel this shift, or is it just me? read more

Drove here from San Diego for Sabrina Carpenter's sold out Night 1 show. I parked about a block away from the Arena. Traffic around the area was pretty confusing and bad especially in the rain. The line went by fast once the doors opened but security did not seem to be strict on rules. They did not check what were inside of bags, they just held papers up to show what size your bag needs to be. Walked through the detectors and it didn't seem like they cared much. A little confusing to find our section and seats. Seats are interesting as they recline a bit when you sit but the aisles are very tight to get by others. There was a cord hanging down from the ceiling that sort of obstructed the view but it was fine. Wetzel's Pretzel is a good touch as well. read more

This was our second time here and both experiences were great. We came for the last night of Sabrina Carpenters tour and expected everything to be busy and crowded.

Crypto.com Arena is a great venue overall, especially for watching a Lakers game. Getting in and out was easy, and there really isn't a bad seat in the house, sightlines are solid no matter where you're sitting, which makes the experience enjoyable from tip-off to the final buzzer. The downside is the concessions. Beer is extremely overpriced, almost $50 for two tall boys -- and the food options are underwhelming for a venue of this size. The atmosphere and setup are excellent, but the food and drink situation definitely take away from it a bit. Still, a great place to catch a game. Fantastic venue, just come prepared for high prices and limited food options. read more
