The original post mentioned that The Lafayette was converted to residential space in 1967, but I think The Outrigger Room closed before that.

It looks like The Lafayette underwent a comprehensive renovation starting no later than October 6, 1963, which is when this article ran in the Long Beach Independent. Note that, as part of the renovation, they had put a dance floor in The Outrigger Room:

That article says they were planning a grand re-opening later in the month; however, there must have been another renovation or re-conceptualization of the space or something, because by no later than October 1, 1964 (less than a year later), The Outrigger Room was advertising another "opening", this time focusing on go-go dancing:

Within a month or so after that, no later than November 13, 1964, they were no longer advertising it as The Outrigger Room at all, but had changed the name to The Go-Go Room:

The name change is referenced in this article from the December 4, 1964, Independent:
