Echoes of Star Trek the Experience


When I was in Las Vegas last month I wandered into the Las Vegas Hotel, LVH, which was the former Las Vegas Hilton, where Star Trek the Experience took place.  I was really sad when I found out the Star Trek experience was ending, and thought everything was removed.  As I wandered through the casino nostalgia hit me hard as I walked into the Trek Universe.  I wonder if there are hidden remnants behind walls.  

When I was much younger I visited twice.  As the "ride" starts you think you're about to board a shuttle craft simulator when you're suddenly transported to the Enterprise Transporter room, and then led to the bridge.  It was an amazing experience!  And I'll never forget the shock of being transported, by surprise, and having that opportunity.  It felt so real!  I can say I know what it's like to be transported 
to the U.S.S. Enterprise.
