An announcement from Teras I. Cassidy of Geek Nation Tours:
Geek Nation Tours is proud to be a part of the positive vision of the Star Trek universe and adventures. And this year we are again teaming up with “Dr. Trek” Larry Nemecek to make our tour to the Las Vegas Convention a truly extraordinary experience.
“Exploring Trek Sites” will be guest-led by Larry—the noted Star Trek guru as a consultant, journalist, documentary producer and author of the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, often called upon for his vast knowledge of the Star Trek Universe and its business. He is currently researching Star Trek filming sites, and that is where you and Geek Nation Tours come in…
We will be along as Larry makes the pilgrimage to filming sites of The Original Series, The Next Generation and their movies, as well as Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise. Some familiar, some obscure—but all iconic and ready for you to revisit, right on location. The journey will take us from Hollywood and surrounding Los Angeles up to Vasquez Rocks and onward to the Valley of Fire. That’s right! – 2014 will see us focus on two monumentous 20th Anniversaries! This year is the 20th year since the finale of The Next Generation and “All Good Things” but also it is the 20th anniversary of Generations and the death of James T. Kirk.
Our pilgrimage to the Valley of Fire will be special indeed, as we will be joined by Michael Westmore who can be seen on the reality show FaceOff, and who is an accomplished make-up artist and one of the few people that were on the set when the death of Kirk was filmed.
Our journey will only be beginning when we join in on the fun at the Biggest Star Trek Convention in the World. Imagine dining with Federation staff, running into Klingons in the hallway and bumping into Borg at the craps table… But if you think it is just going to be all “Pointy Ears” and “Warp Factor 2, Captain,” boy are you in for a surprise…
You are about to visit Las Vegas…City of Fun… with a group of like-minded people who want to celebrate all that geeks them out! Excited fans who want to revel in not just Star Trek, but to explore all things Vegas as well. Meet new friends, come home with a smile on your face, and forever treasure loads of unique memories from your mission … along with the odd Romulan ale or two.
Remember that we Geek Nation Tours only does this tour once every second year so book for 2014 or you will be waiting a bit for the chance to do it again..
This year we have several promotions for our tour participants! Creation Entertainment has graciously offered all those on the tour a one-time $50.00 reduction on purchases of Creation Entertainment merchandise of $200.00 or more! What’s more the Robe Factory has offered a gift of one of their super cool Star Trek towels to each and every participant. Further in the spring Robe Factory has some new Star Trek merchandise for us and has offered to give all on the tour a very special deal. This is hush hush for now however – more news on the new merchandise soon…
The tour stars in Los Angeles, California, on July 26, 2014, and wraps up at the conclusion of the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, on August 4, 2014.
