About the Los Angeles Convention Center
The City of Angels is one of California's most popular tourist destinations, and for good reason. Thousands of breathtaking landmarks, parks, shopping centers, museums, and art exhibits can be found within the city's borders. In short, Los Angeles is one of America's biggest cultural hubs - and places like the Los Angeles Center are proof that. Grammy Week takes place here annually, as well as Emmy Week. The Los Angeles Convention Center is even slated to host six sports in the 2028 Summer Olympics.
Fun Fact: Major motion pictures such as Rush Hour and Starship Troopers have used the Center as a filming location.
Things to do at the Los Angeles Convention Center
Los Angeles, just like the rest of Southern California, is always bustling and overflowing with people. The nickname "The Big Orange" comes from L.A.'s similarities to New York City - "The Big Apple." While both L.A. & N.Y. have a lot in common, the City of Angels has a culture all its own. Bounce recommends the following activities when you visit Los Angeles, as well as its Convention Center.
- Get on down to downtown Los Angeles - a sprawling district with plenty to see, do and eat.
