Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there's a very, VERY good reason why the Star Trek Experience in LV is gone.
Um, no it isn't. It was supposed to reopen today in a new location.
"Once left for dead just off the the Strip, Star Trek: The Experience is set to reopen in its new downtown Las Vegas home May 8 — just in time for the big opening of J.J. Abrams’ new film.
According to comments from CBS and Paramount, The Experience will return to Vegas with new shops and restaurants near Fremont Street (above), Sci Fi Wire reports.
As originally reported by Wired.com, the Neonopolis, a multipurpose entertainment center, will serve as the The Experience’s new dock.
While the attraction will open in time for the Trek movie premiere, it will take time to move museum artifacts, rides and other attractions into the space. The Experience isn’t expected to hit warp speed until 2010."
