A new experience

I have spent the afternoon getting re-acquainted with the crew of the StarShip Enterprise: The Next Generation. It has served to make me more curious about Star Trek: The Experience which is currently on show in Las Vegas but about not to be. The Experience is currently housed in the Hilton and includes part simulator, museum, environment and gift shop (mmm Star Trek gift shop) - and, of course, an escape from the lights and gambling that the rest of Vegas has to offer - although that would be fun too. It's due to close in the US's Fall but the good news is that if I (and the other Trekkies who have not yet had the pleasure of the experience) don't make it in time, CBS/Paramount has indicated that they are searching for a new home for Star Trek: The Experience.
