After nine great years the world famous Official STAR TREK Conventionmoved to The Rio Suites in 2011 and history was made! It became the biggest and best STAR TREK Convention of all time, an enormous turn-out of fellow fans from around the galaxy sharing a mutual love and admiration of Gene Roddenberry's incredible legacy! With non-stop, round the clock action featuring over 70 celebrities, the 2011 convention received raves from all, truly an incredibly wonderful time and as such, we can't wait to do it again in 2012.
Our new home,
The Rio Suiteswas a HUGE hit with our audience: everyone loved the super-large suite rooms, the fantastic selection of restaurants, buffets and bars, the exciting casino and its in the sky Masquerade show, and of course the state of the art theatres (featuring built in stages) and tech systems that offered impeccable sound even at the back of the main and secondary theaters.
The huge vendors room was continually bustling and along with cool Trek collectibles you could often catch celebrities at their own booths or just wandering around. ALL the Trek stars won kudos from fans for being so accessible and friendly. There is something special about Las Vegas and this convention that puts everyone in the best of spirits and makes this convention a one of a kind celebration.
Tens of thousands of autographs and photo ops were all completed, the parties at the hotel's Voodoo Lounge were very well received, and the many Star Trek actors in varied live theatrical performances tore the house down. Having the Three Captains (Bill, Sir Patrick and Kate) on stage together was a true kick, and of course Leonard Nimoy's last appearance in Vegas was a highly emotional moment for us all, including him!
The bingo bash was a smash, the food functions a joy, the auctions fast-paced and bargain filled, and one of our favorite events was catching "The Sulu Summit" with original George Takei and new star John Cho. Who could forget the Klingon Summit with four "real" Klingons on stage! Then there was the amazing Guinness Book of World Records where we all blew past the previous record of most Trek costumes in one place.
And, of course, the incredible William Shatner was on hand all four days directing his co-production with Creation Entertainment called
FAN ADDICTS, a new television series that shows audiences what goes on behind the scenes of fan conventions.
Now after the success of 2011 we turn our attention to topping ourselves in 2012. Keep on the look out for new additions to this site and for our complimentary
STAR TREK E-BULLETINSfor on-going news.
THANK YOUto all our fellow fans for making the Las Vegas Convention the place to be for anyone who loves Star Trek as much as we do!
