Dress
- Definitely comfortable shoes
- Comfortable shoes are a MUST!!! You will walk for 4 hours or more...
- Floor was carpeted - I wore heels and had no problems.
Parking And Transportation
- At the Convention Center, the farther you're willing to walk the cheaper the parking lots.
- We took the metro which avoids all parking fees. It was great.
- If the Staples Center has an event, the Covnetion Center parking will be sold out.
Food And Drinks
- Fair amount of options but a bit overpriced of course
- Plan to eat before or after. Not many interesting food and drink options.
- There's healthy food $7-9, plus drinks $3 & Starbucks
Other
- Many excellent galleries - plan on LOTS of time - maybe even two leisurely trips.
- If you don't get there when it opens, 2 trips would be best. There is so much to see!
- L.A. Live is right next door and is a great spot to have dinner or drinks after the show!
