Oct. 18, 2008 - The Star Trek Experience

This is what was announced in the middle of the summer.  I was very sad that the Star Trek Experience was going to shut down.

 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.

That was then and this is now.  Headlines over the weekend say!

                                                             Boldly Going Downtown
                                                     Star Trek Attraction may be headed
                                                            to Neonopolis Mayor Hints

Mayor Goodman let the news slip and the developer for the struggling downtown Neonopolis was surprised when reporters asked him.  He did say, " they were close to a deal but he was not prepared for the news leak."  There are still a lot of negotiations to be done including with CBS who ownes the costumes. 
I really hope this goes through as I did not get to see it before it closed at the Hilton.  When I stayed at the Hilton in Sept. I walked around and Quarks bar was still there.  I really was sad that I had not had the experience.
