Enlightenment carries it's own dope slap.

On June 30, 2008, it was announced that Star Trek: The Experience will be closing on September 1. As reported by TrekMovie.com, a decline in sales along with diminished talks between Cedar Park and the Las Vegas Hilton brought about the conclusion of the attraction.

We will be in Vegas overnight on August 6th. The plan was to come into town, sleep overnight, and take off in the morning...

..but what if I took a night from San Francisco, and stayed in Las VEgas instead? Like I originally planned? It would add one day of hotel ($80 instead of $40), plus tickets for two ($90) and spending money (lets say $100 that was really just surt of shuffled off from one day in San Fran?)...let say an extra $130? If I tighten my belt REALLY REALLY tight, I could make it. It's closing in September and the last time I was in vegas was 97. Again...who knows when I'll be back in the area?

Plus...I really want to show Emily the Vegas Strip at night, something we couldn't do if we were just spending the night....

Hmmmm...would you be interested, Emily? I know I am, but if we BOTH are, I'll definitely save up tight for it.

What do you, the viewer at home think? Add a day in Vegas after all? Or spend more time in San Francisco?

UPDATE: After being told that the Experience is TOTALLY WORTH IT, but is also TOTALLY SHORT, it might be better to just stay one night in Vegas, then go to the experience in the morning, and leave afterwards. Instead of going straight to San Fran, we'll stay over in Fresno where Emily wants to see friends.... This is really beginning to look like a plan!

aww :(

I love the Trek Geek stuff at the LV Hilton...

One last pilgrimage might have to be in the works for me, too....

How familiar sounding. Charles was planning our route to Seattle yesterday, since he decided we'd move to Seattle instead of Portland and leave September 2009. He was figuring up how many miles between each of the stopping points, calculating gas and hotel amounts, moving van prices, and looking for a neighborhood.

I do hope we leave next year, but we're actually moving to Portland, not Seattle. He is mistaken.

How is the job search coming along?

They have Star Trek in Vegas? How come there hasn't been a CSI episode exploiting it (hor has there?)?

I vote Star Trek :D But then given the choice of Star Trek over most anything I'd always go with Star Trek.

Well that's not true, but still, in this case, I vote Star Trek
