Opened in December 2008 as part of L.A. Live, the new downtown sports and entertainment district, the 15,000-square-foot Conga Room contains a variety of private event spaces, including the Boca Restaurant and a V.I.P. lounge overlooking Nokia Plaza. Alive with Latin flavor, the Conga Room has a large dance floor, as well as a D.J. booth suspended above the action.
Guests were entertained by salsa demonstrations and lessons while feasting on a wide array of Latin-inspired food and drinks provided by Wolfgang Puck Catering, the venue’s caterer. The lavish buffet menu included fresh guacamole, empanadas, yucca, and tropical fruit platters.
