Next week, Creation Entertainment’s Official Star Trek Convention returns to Las Vegas for four-days of nerdy goodness. With a loaded lineup that includes four Star Trek captains, stars from every incarnation of the franchise appearing on stage, costume contests, film screenings, a Star Trek-themed performance by the Nevada Pops Orchestra, live auctions, science lectures, the return of Quark’s Bar, autograph and photo-op sessions, a Trekkie would be hard-pressed not to find something that breaches their warp core.
Taking place July 31 through August 3rd at the Las Vegas Rio, Creation’s STLV celebrity lineup boasts more than 100 stars–including William Shatner, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew, Scott Bakula, Karl Urban, Brent Spiner, Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis, LeVar Burton, Gates McFadden, Colm Meaney, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, Peter Weller, Chase Masterson, John de Lancie, Nana Visitor, Rene Auberjonis, Suzie Plakston, Tim Russ, Anthony Montgomery, Max Grodenchik, Aron Eisenberg, John Billingsly, Tony Todd, Robert O’Reilly, JG Hertzler, Robert Duncan McNeill, David Warner, Ethan Phillips, Cirroc Lofton, Denise Crosby, Catherine Hicks, Paul Lynch, Don Stark, Sally Kellerman, Ronald B.
