Star Trek: Las Vegas 2023 -57 Year Mission-

 
You think being a life long Trekkie I would of gone to a Star Trek convention by now, but nope, yesterday was my very first. Star Trek: Las Vegas has been held at The Rio Casino, put on by Creation Entertainment for the last 22 years straight. Each convention is subtitled celebrating the years since Star Trek's creation, this year celebrates 57 years of the never ending fandom.

 

A wild, but very friendly Mugato was running around the convention halls.

Finally add Star Trek to my Monopoly collection.

Picked up two more Playmates figures I was missing.

Got these two great shirts, sadly they were sold out of TOS and Next Gen.

Had to pick up these awesome Destination: Star Trek prints. Was bummed there's not a Next Gen series one with the Enterprise-D, hopefully next year there's a Strange New Worlds one.

Beautiful models of Enterprise-G and D by Factory Entertainment.

Sat in on a live recording of one my favorite Star Trek podcast Mission Log.

 

Had the great honor to meet, and get autographs from six fantastic actors. Thank you so much to Gary Graham, Conner Trinneer, Garret Wang, Jeffrey Combs, Marina Sirtis, and especially a huge amount of gratitude to Anson Mount who came and sat in the vendor room for an extra round of signatures after doing a panel when he wasn't scheduled to that day. 

 

 

The absolute highlight of the day, and so glad he was there the one day I could go this week, was getting a photo with William Shatner, watching and hearing him talk on stage, and ending the day getting his autograph.

Had a fun Trekkie nerdy fanboy day, can't wait to go again next year, definitely gonna start going every year from now on.
