The Star Trek Experience is located at the Hilton right off the Strip. It's a great attraction for any Star Trek fan and even those that are mildly interested. I would not have gone myself because I think those aliens are ugly but my husband is a big fan.
On the Strip and in the magazines you will find in your hotel are ads for places that sell show tickets at half off. These places don't have tickets for any of the major shows that most people want to see but they do have tickets for Star Trek. Stop by one of these kiosks and save yourself at least $15 per ticket.
The attraction starts with what they call the museum. It contains some props from the shows and movies. But the best part was the timeline. They have a visual timeline with pictures of the entire Star Trek story including all the TV series and movies. If you have missed any of the Star Trek action or are confused about what happened when or why, you can get your answers here.
The Experience itself is made up of two different shows. In one you fight Klingons, the brown fighters with the ridges on their heads. In the other show you fight The Borg. These are people combined with computers that try to assimilate every species they come in contact with. Needles to say, you wouldn't want to mess with these things.
As you wait in line, a few of the actors come out in costume to take pictures with you. They look so real it is uncanny. They look more real then they do on TV.
Your fight against the Klingons starts onboard the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. The bridge is full size and down to detail. The story is set in Star Trek The Next Generation. As the action starts you are shown to a turbolift that takes you and your group to the shuttle bays where you board a shuttle pod to fly back to the past. (I won't explain so it doesn't ruin the story.) The pod is a motion simulator so you watch the movie while the pod shifts back and forth like a ride and any amusement park. At the end, if you don't feel like throwing up you are in good shape.
The other event, is set in Star Trek Voyager. You are taken to a remote star base when the Borg attacks and abducts you. The majority of the attraction is a 4-D movie. Of course everything turns out ok in the end. But it was very nicely acted out. The action is live and full of excitement.
Even not being a Star Trek fan, I enjoyed the Experience. Maybe that's because I had my husband with me to explain what all the different aliens were and why everyone wanted to kill us.
Things To Do In Las Vegas Free
I'm talking the rich of the rich here - the ultra, mega-watt, oil-barren, Gucci dripping rich. So you're going to Las Vegas and you want to look like a big shot?
Here are 3 ways to look like a big shot in Vegas and have people falling all over themselves to serve you.
#1) Mind the Details
Truly rich people - true big shots - know about the details and can easily spot a fake because most of those people don't mind the details.
What kind of details? The small things like your nails, your hair, your purse, your shoes, your cufflinks, or your watch.
For example, you can have the designer blouse and tailored tweed pants - but if your purse is a Wal-mart special, you're sunk. Mind the details and even the hardened casino hostesses will be fooled.
Even if you relax on the big stuff - mind the details and people will 'just know' you're one of the big players because the details are right.
#2) Mind Your Movements
Having sat and watched the ultra rich for hours on end, I've noticed something that no one else is pointing out - big shots move differently.
If you don't believe me just grab a seat at the Bellagio or the Venetian in Las Vegas and watch them.
You'll notice a distinct difference in the way the big shots move. Even if they're wearing jeans and sneakers, you can still see it.
Big shots move like big shots. A little slower than the rest of us, they're in no hurry because the world comes to them. They have a calm demeanor that seems to say 'I can buy this place if I want to'.
The next time you want to look like a big shot, slow down your movements and add a little extra lazy confidence to your gestures - people will be staring at you wondering 'Who is THAT?'
#3) Mind Your Manners - But Not The Way Mom Told You
Most of us are used to being polite, even timid when it comes to social settings like restaurants, coffee shops, stores, etc. But the big shots can often be - well - bold and outrageously assertive.
They aren't timid or even polite at times. They go after what they want, with a calm deserving attitude. If they want to sit somewhere and the hostess is heading in the other direction, they stop her and tell her they want to sit 'over there'. If they want their cafe latte a certain way they very specifically tell the server what they want - and they won't settle for anything less.
We may see these people and think 'How rude!' but the truth is that they get what they want. They send the subliminal message that they will have their way, one way or another.
I'm not telling you to be rude. In fact, true big shots recognize that real class involves being kind - to everyone. But make sure you go after what you want in social settings. Adopt the attitude that you deserve it - and you'll quickly be recognized as the ultimate big shot. People will be falling all over themselves to accommodate you.
So those are 3 ways to look like a big shot in Las Vegas (or anywhere else for that matter). Of course if these fail you can always just book a suite at the Bellagio, rent a thousand dollar mink coat and hire a white limo with a tuxedoed driver. That works too.
