FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STAR TREK: THE EXPERIENCE TO CONCLUDE SUCCESSFUL 11 YEAR

RUN AT LAS VEGAS HILTON

Las Vegas - Star Trek: The Experience, Las Vegas’ premier interactive attraction will conclude its historic 11 year run at the Las Vegas Hilton on September 1, 2008.

Since 1998, millions of guests have gone boldly into the 24

th century to battle Klingons, Borg, and other hostile aliens. The original complex featured the Klingon Encounter, an interactive adventure and ride. In 2004 Borg Invasion 4-D was introduced and the Secrets Unveiled Backstage Tour was unveiled in 2005, making Star Trek: the Experience the stomping grounds for fans around the galaxy.

 

So apparently this news is a couple months old, but I'm just now hearing about it. A local DJ was talking about how he's taking off next Tuesday to go get a glimpse before it's gone. I've never been to Vegas, and I have to admit, I'm sorely tempted to use some frequent flier miles this weekend....

Asked if there is any final transmission he’d like to convey from the Enterprise bridge, Chad Boutte, Operations Manager and Director of Marketing said “Hailing frequencies open. We’d like to thank all the fans and friends of Star Trek, whose constant and amazing support we’ve enjoyed throughout our tenure at the Las Vegas Hilton. As we boldly go into the futures that await, know that we take your love of Star Trek: The Experience with us. We share the memories of time spent in the most unique place in the Galaxy, and we carry those memories into our futures with us. Live long, and prosper.

Hailing frequencies closed.”

The less you expect, the more you'll be surprised. Hopefully, pleasantly so.
