Be very careful closing vents to cool another room. Back up North, my neighbor did just that. He ended up with black mold in the AC due to restricted air flow and excessive moisture build up. Then the unit actually froze, which in turn did more damage....result the AC was totaled and required complete replacement of the AC and all of the duct work.

Check with your AC vendor before closing down on the vents, these units are designed for a specific air flow that goes with the size (aka tonnage) of the unit.
Hope this helps.
