Rumors are swirling around Las Vegas and the Star Trek fan universe that the demise of Star Trek: The Experience is imminent.
No official announcement has been made, but employess of the attraction were informed this past weekend that this would be the final year. Speculation is that the multimillion-dollar facility may close as early as Labor Day.
This would be a great time to book your tickets for the mammoth Official Star Trek Convention, which takes place this August at the Las Vegas Hilton - home of The Experience. See it while you still can!
The final act of the very ambitious fan-film project "Star Trek: Of Gods and Men" (earlier column) is now available for viewing!
