After 11 years the Hilton has announce the end of the Star Trek Experience. It was announced last week officially but there has been rumors for quite sometime.
I am a Star Trek Fan. I have lived here 9 years and still have not made it down to the experience. Now I will have until Sept. 1 to do it or never see it. How sad. I was very excited because I will be at a convention on Sept 19. I am staying at the Hilton even though I live here, as there are a bunch of my fellow agents coming in for the convention. Well I thought I would finally have the time to see it and it will be gone.
The official Star Trek Convention is Aug. 6-10th so this will be the final year.
So if you are a big Trekkie now would be the time to come to Las Vegas.
