Call 'em and see what they say 1.800.832.7117
I'm going to try to get over there in March eventhough I haven't
got a Show book there, but I'm real curious to see what it looks like too.
It was still a useless mess in Dec. but looking at all the new machines
they had to install, the new carpet, registration and deli...it's gonna be
real nice.

Was there for three nights last week and the only work I seen going on was replacement of a section of carpet. Everything looks as if it is done and looks great.

Here's the very important question.....Has anyone seen this, and is it worth it ( it's at the LV Hilton )? Also, has anyone used the 1/2 price ticket place to buy tickets for this? Thanks.:o :) :D

I have been to this and it is FANTASTIC! I cannot stand Star Trek (sorry to all the Trekkies out there!) but the experience is great. The 4D shows are the best and you should go to Quark's restaurant - great drinks! The whole thing is a great experience whether or not you're a Trekkie.

I AM a Trekker and I have enjoyed the Experience very much, twice over the last few years.I don't do it every time but every year or so... If you can get in for 1/2 price, GO for it. You will enjoy it. Have a drink at Quarks when your finished! A "Warp Core Breach" will put a smile on your face. :D

We enjoyed both of the Star trek attractions, probably the Borg 4D a little more. Thought the food at Quark's was excellent. Have had dinner there a few times and also stop sometimes just for drinks and appetizers. Their onion rings are great.The characters walking around and talking to the patrons can be quite entertaining. One very tall "Klingon" remarked to the man (sitting with his wife, daughters, and mother-in-law) seated behind us about the number of "his females" he brought with him to help with his dinner.:)

Stayed at the Las Vegas Hilton the week after Christmas just before New Year's. They were busy finishing up on trimming the new casino carpet when I checked in, and masons were laying marble near the elevators. They were also finishing up on the new coffee bar, new casino lounge, and updated lobby. These projects were really no inconvenience, and my understanding is they are done with these improvements.

I was originally assigned a North Tower room and was not happy with its very dated condition when I stepped in the door, so I hurried back down and switched to a Center Tower room, and was happy with it. Overall, the Hilton is looking pretty good and is still a great value, particularly with the new Monorail right there.

However, I am interested to know what the Hilton plans to do with other parts of the property -- particularly the low-tier restaurants located in the North Tower and if they intend to "spice up" the pool area. I also think Colony Capital could get more sizzle with their investment by pressing on with the focus on entertainment by putting in another themed restaurant (a la Bennihana) and a nightclub venue in the huge sports book space.

I prefer the Center tower also. the first time i stayed there i was in the North and it sas sparse and looked very much like it was set up for conventioneers rather than the reg. guests. one whole wall by the window was a very long desk. didn't need that! but that was several years ago.
