ARCHIVE SEPT 2002
(13 SEP 2002)
Wow! What a day! I just had a fantastic time at the
Las Vegas Hilton's "Star Trek Experience"! If you even
marginally are interested in Star Trek you have to see this. It is really
really amazing. It is kind of an interactive experience, with live
actors interacting with the TV show actors from TNG cast. You get to
"beam up" to the ship (the illusion is flawless and very cool) and
walk the hallways, turbolifts, and the bridge! They've got all the sounds
perfect, from the chirping LCARS consoles to the bass hum of the ship's engines
in warp drive. Very good attention to detail and it really makes the whole
thing worth it. Alone that would be sufficient.
But then add to the fact that there is a full on Star Trek Prop Museum (The
History of the Future Museum) which is as good as the popular "Magic of
Myth" exhibit. Also add "Quarks" which is essentially the
promenade deck of Deep Space 9...and a ton of shops where you can buy anything
from uniforms, to tribbles, to latinum, to Romulan Ale, and get
this....officially liscenced Trek Props! Very cool. Needless to say,
I dropped a lot of change here....almost as much as GENCON :(
Add to the whole experience, that I'm using the hotel's
ultra-fast broadband to update the page....while I'm watching...get this....Star
Wars: Attack of the Clones on Pay-per-view.....aaahhh Vegas. Oh Annie's
about to whoop up on some Tuskens....gotta go!
Check out the
