Star Trek: The Experience To Close
The long partnership between the Star Trek: The Experience and the Las Vegas Hilton has come to an end. Rumors had been around for a while that negotiatons to keep the exhibit at the Hilton were not going well and it was officially announced that ST will be closing September 1.
While not a Trekkie myself, I have gone on the ride a couple of times. (Well more like dragged on it!) It’s actually a pretty cool exhibit. It’s pretty spacious with the rides, a restaurant and bar, several giftshops and a casino section done up in a space theme. They even offer Star Trek themed weddings and of course it’s a highlight of the yearly Star Trek convention held at the Hilton.
No word yet on where the STE will relocate to or what will take over the space in the Hilton. Rumors are it’s gonna be turned into space for Michael Jackson’s long talked-about show but nothing’s being said yet. Like tons of other things here we’ll see what happens.
It’s too bad honestly. Even though the Hilton is a nice place, it’s a bit off the strip and there’s really not any sort of theme to draw people in and the STE was one of its most unique attractions. Hopefully they find a new home soon.
