Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton - Las Vegas, NV (1998)

“Star Trek: The Experience is an interactive adventure based on the fantastic voyages of the futuristic TV series Star Trek. Visitors to this joint venture between Paramount Parks and the Las Vegas Hilton are “immersed in a futuristic world where they see, feel, touch and live in the 24th century”.

A visit to the 65,000 sq. ft. entertainment attraction starts with a visit to the SpaceQuest casino. A giant portal, at the end of the themed casino, opens onto a view of models of the USS Enterprise, Bird of Prey and the USS Enterprise 1-701-D—suspended from the ceiling against a deep sky wall filled with thousands of flickering stars. A ramp leads to the ticket sales booth and the adventure truly begins. Soon, the guests are “beamed” aboard the Starship Enterprise. On the bridge of the airship, an exact recreation of the TV set familiar to millions, guests become part of a Star Trek adventure and “the future of the universe lies in their hands.” After a dramatic ride on the Turbo Lift to the Grand Corridor (never actually shown in the TV series) , the space travelers are escorted to the shuttle craft bay where they board a 27-seat shuttlecraft for “the ultimate journey through Star Trek universe." 

The motion simulator ride has been developed using a new "immersive” viewer tilt perspective and the riders are completely out of touch with the “real world.” Film images are seen overhead and on either side of the shuttle craft as well as up front. The six axis simulator in the domed theater “creates an incredibly realistic and convincing journey” Visitors, after the ride, disembark into a full scale reproduction of the Promenade from Star Trek- Deep Space Nine which houses assorted retail shops. 

Other areas in Star Trek: The Experience include the History of the Future which is a museum-like exhibit that features authentic Star Trek costumes, weaponry, make-up, special effects, and props used in the series and in the eight motion pictures that were made. There is also a photo-morphing studio where guests can be photographed as their favorite character. In Quark’s Restaurant & Bar visitors can enjoy exotic named drinks and foods all based on the specific Star Trek “language” and “culture.” The 22-minute experience is a rich and entertaining one. Costumed “characters” help to move the more than 2000 space travelers through the entire space in an hour. The experience includes one bridge, two loading docks, and two motion simulation rides.”

For decades stoners were renowned for their aesthetics. For their blacklight posters and lava lamps, for their airbrushed dragon murals and electrical shock orb thingies from Spencer Gifts. Then they legalized weed and every weed store became the flattest, emptiest minimalist void imaginable. They're putting a weed store in a former Rainforest Cafe and they're tearing out all of the rainforest decor to make it just a big empty space with walls painted the blandest green they can find. They tore down paradise and put up a place where a business major tries to tell you CDB oil can cure cancer

It’s almost as if nobody wants to admit that they might not be prepared to do the work it takes to love somebody. And it can be laborious. To be intimate with someone who is flawed (which is the standard) requires us to expose our own flaws. We don’t talk about the heavy responsibility of that. We don’t talk about how we’re too lazy or too cowardly sometimes. We instead accuse love of being elusive. It isn’t. It is omnipresent. It asks us to be better people. And sometimes we flat out refuse.

Gordon Parks captured the Jim Crow South with a quiet, devastating clarity—using his camera as both witness and weapon. Through intimate portraits and everyday scenes, he exposed the cruelty of segregation not with sensationalism but with humanity, dignity, and truth. Parks showed Black life in the South as it was lived: tender, resilient, disciplined, and determined, even under oppressive laws. His photographs didn’t just document injustice—they challenged America to see what it preferred to ignore.
