Advice photographing daughters 21st Birthday Party at Night at Restaurant Events Venue

Our photographer has cancelled.

Even though I'm paying for the party my lady has asked me to take the pics.

Grrrrr.

We have the EOS Kiss x5 / 600D

with EFS 18-55mm

and EFS 55-250mm

Its a few years old and hardly used.

I'd like some quick and simple advice if its possible.

On which lens I could use the entire night.

And which settings I could use the entire night.

Also, I do like the candid shots using the 55-250mm.

Which gets the feeling of being close without invading the subjects space.

But I'm thinking its not for this event.

I'm deducing there will be loud music and lots of flashing lights.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not planning on using the flash.

The ceiling is NOT vaulted.

I'd expecting it to be pretty dark as this is a dance party and not a dinner.

Canon EOS 600D (EOS Rebel T3i / EOS Kiss X5) Pentax X-5
