Captain’s Log: Star Trek The Experience Closes
by Andrew
The Las Vegas Hilton has announced the end date for Star Trek: The Experience on September 1. The attraction, located inside the Las Vegas Hilton property, included a lounge, a show and a fairly extensive museum dedicated to all things Star Trek. Quark’s Bar and Grill featured Trek-themed drinks like Romulan Ale and wings smothered in Vulcan hot sauce. Your server might very well be Klingon.
The original show The Klingon Encounter beams visitors on to the bridge of the Enterprise-D and puts them square in the middle of a firefight between the Enterprise and a rogue Klingon commander.
The second show Borg Invasion 4-D was added in 2004. The visitors experience being assimilated into the Borg Collective. The show features a timely rescue by Captain Janeway.
Though the shows are considered the pinnacle of the experience, the museum is easily the best part of the experience. The museum takes visitors through a detailed timeline of Star Trek history and includes film clips and costume displays for all the alien races of Star Trek lore.
The Official Star Trek Convention will held at the Las Vegas Hilton August 6-10, perhaps giving fans one last chance to embrace the experience. Star Trek: The Experience has been in operation since 1998.

Oh, man! I’ll actually be in Vegas for work travel sometime in October. I would have loved to visit the Experience. Booooo!
