The
summer of 2000, David, Gayla, and friend Scott Clark from
Ohio, took a vacation to Las Vegas and on to LA. Here are
a few pics from Las Vegas! Some of these are stills, others
are video grabs, so the quality isn't as good on those.
The
Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton
Even
if you are just a casual viewer of Star Trek, you have to
check this out if ever in Las Vegas. Not only do they have
a complete Trek museum there, the ride itself is incredible.
It's a combination of full immersion sets, ride, and live
actors. I won't spoil the main part itself, but if you didn't
know better, you would swear you had transported up to the
Enterprise D! Plus they don't allow video or photography during
that part, so nothing from that here. When it's over you are
dumped into Deep Space Nine with themed restaurants and actors
in character. The food was actually good too.

I am still regretting not going and riding that.


Unfortunately,
it was so hot that you got tired just walking across the street,
so we didn't get to see many of the things we wanted to, and
driving anywhere around there is crazy! I don't recommend
going to Vegas in the middle of the summer!
