Crypto.com Arena - Los Angeles, California

Lenni V. H.

The Crypto.com Arena, home of the legendary Los Angeles Lakers, is a must-visit for any basketball fan. Stepping inside, you're immediately immersed in the team's rich history, surrounded by championship banners and retired jerseys. Beyond basketball, it's a premier entertainment hub hosting the Clippers, Kings, Sparks, major concerts, and events like the Grammys. Recent upgrades have enhanced the fan experience with state-of-the-art technology, diverse culinary options from renowned chefs, and improved hospitality. The atmosphere during a Lakers game is electric, a true testament to LA's passionate sports culture. Whether you call it Crypto.com Arena or still say "Staples," it's an iconic venue where unforgettable moments happen.

If you’re heading to a Lakers game (or any big event), Crypto.com Arena absolutely delivers. The venue itself is clean, modern, and incredibly well-run — the energy inside is electric from the moment you walk through the doors. The location is a chef’s kiss — smack in the heart of downtown LA with a ton of great hotels, restaurants, and bars within walking distance.

Everything from the seating to the sound system feels top-notch, and even the food and drink options are way better than your typical stadium fare (though yes, stadium prices apply — welcome to LA). Staff is friendly, lines move fast, and you really can’t beat the overall experience for a big game or concert. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just soaking it all in, Crypto Arena makes it an unforgettable night.

I had a chance to purchase 2 VIP tickets to watch the Lakers and Spurs. This is my second visit to the Crypto arena. Both visits were so great and the experience is out of this world.

They are organized and make every one feel special. The toilets are always clean.

The view was great from where I were. I am always thankful for the blessings.

If I will visit California again, I will always keep Crypto Arena as one of my top places to visit!

We had a blast!

I went to see Tyler the Creator for the Chromakopia tour!

It was a lot of fun! The employees were super nice and willing to direct us to our seats. The venue itself was clean and organized. I was in section 312, which I don’t really recommend, because the hanging fixtures blocked the screen/stage. Other than that it was nice, and the sound and lighting were beautifully done. The pyrotechnics were also super cool for an indoor event.

We parked at Athena Parking lot nearby, which was the cheapest I was able to find (20 bucks all night until 2am).

I will say check in was a little cumbersome, and they had a lot of people taking off their belts and having to get rescanned multiple times. I definitely recommend coming with your items presorted and ready to go, or else you’ll be stuck in line for a while. The photo ops were okay, though they weren’t as many as other venues, and there were lines for all of them.

Had a great time though and I’d come back 😼

Parking for $20 was 2 blocks away- Athena lot. There was no wait to enter the Arena at 1hr before the Thursday night game. The statues out front was a big hit. Food choices and prices were what is expected at an arena. Bathrooms were kept up, and the arena was well staffed and clean. A nice experience at Crypto.com arena.

I've enjoyed my experience every time I go to a Kings game. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the Crypto.com arena. With it being in the heart of LA, you would think it would be a little more interesting and have better food choices inside the arena but it's kind of basic. Once the game starts though, the atmosphere is great so I would still recommend visiting at least once.

This arena is great, very well played out and inside the bowl is a great experience. Very easy to get in and the staff were both helpful and curious. There are loads of places to eat before and all round perfect t

Great spot to watch a game. We attended a playoff game for the LA Kings and the lighting, music and experience really adds to the action on the ice. It was a great atmosphere. 1 star off for some insanely high concession prices. I understand the up-charge as we attend many sporting events and concerts and are used to event pricing. But a canned beer and rail cocktail should not be $60.. 1 drink for each of our foresome could have bought a 5th playoff ticket. Just wild. Otherwise a good experience.
