Captains log, star date, well, today. It's sad to learn that Star Trek: The Experience will be closing its doors at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 1st.
This attraction was a unique opportunity to see Star Trek memorabilia, get sick on a few rides, and spend some of your hard earned cash in the souvenir shops. I was able to take a couple of photos with a Borg and a Klingon Woman when I was there not too long ago. It was a blast. I really hope CBS listens to the fans and finds a new home for the attraction in Las Vegas, and even expands it. Great time to do this with a new movie coming out. I really hope the fans aren't screwed again by Paramount and CBS.
Long Live Star Trek!
That klingon chic is hot!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Thom is back.... we missed you man.. what happened to May?
@Laura, yeah, it really blows. I wonder why CBS/Paramount can't keep this franchise from failing.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, there would really be no other reason to visit Vegas anymore, except maybe Coke World :)
I live in Vegas and Im saddened by this turn of events. Yet another of the few remaining "Amazing/Fun" things leaves Vegas, probably to be replaced by yet another LA style ultra-hip lounge/club or some trendy shopping or something equally bland.
ReplyDeleteThe ONLY reason to go to the Hilton will now be gone.
Mike, I couldn't agree more. It was a great place to take the Family, away from the casino. Very few of those places left.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am pretty sure the space will be taken over by the trendy shops, restaurants and clubs. Huge loss for Hilton.
