Second, the Amex entryway makes it harder to get a table, because it’s around the corner from the actual entrance. Use the DRLA bar one. Of course then there’s a huge line there, because it’s for all the suites, like the Yaamavaa one. The lounge itself is tiny and cramped and has nothing like enough tables or seats. Every part of this was terrible and made the gameday experience vastly worse.

Your guests also get a max of 2 free drinks each.It is a rather limited space, which is why the lines form quick and end up ending quick too.Doors open 1.5 hours before puck /ball drop, and on the weekends, after 30 minutes of doors opening, lines have formed and less than an hour, the lounge is at capacity. The capacity is 150 and it does get filled rather quickly.I do have to note that I haven't always had the best of experiences here, on some occasions, people fight their way to the line and are rude about it. Some even have lied that the Suite is full to deter others from going.Once you get in line, an attendant will give you a bracelet and up you go.Take a look at what Jon K wrote about accessing the lounge for a more finding the line and getting into the lounge upstairs.The seating is geared more towards counter seating for views of the arena, wtih a handful of high top tables they all have limited view of the arena, however.The service every time I've been has been fast, although it can be slow due to the number of people in there, and only one bar to order from.The staff were all very nice here.Pro tip: There's a dedicated AmEx entrance on the side, if you want to use that to enter the stadium. I definitely recommend coming to the Centurion Suite if you can!(One star off for the terrible accessibility to this place, to form a line, and how small it is.

You get a wristband for 2 free alcoholic drinks apiece, you can bring up to 3 people with you to the suite. They cap the suite entrance, so make sure you are there about an hour before gametime. If you buy cheap nosebleed seats, you may be lucky and snag a table here at the lounge, but you have to get here super early. Food is slightly upgraded here but different from the arena food. So if you are more into Arena food and not fancy, go back downstairs.

Dried up pan seared chicken (ugh) over-cooked veggies and cold pastas to salty Caesar salad. Cookies were ok! My hasband got in free because of his card but could not have his wife!! I had to pay $50 that I am very angry about it because there was nothing to eat except bad and unhealthy food! Ugh

Only think I would say is be ready to show up to the game a few hours early otherwise no chance at getting seats.
