Intro
We made another trip to Vegas this year, mostly to get Kathleen and Cory married (see
the wedding pictures in their own book).
Arriving all together, Kathleen, Cory, Steven, Patricia and I, we found it was only $8
dollars more to take a limo to the Vacation Club than a taxi. Which helped set the mood for the trip.
Sheri, my daughter, made it out for a couple of days, so I even had a special trat in
getting to see her.
Patricia's sister and her boy friend Maurice also drove out from California for half
the week.
Cory's mother Donna and her husband Craig flew down for the wedding.
So it turned into quite a family affair.
About half the group had never been before, so they explored and we relaxed.

We stayed on the 10th floor this time, so we had
an overview of the pool complex.
|
The Club's private pool.
|
Steven had his own room. With a single entry to a small
foyer, with doors to each side HGVC can rent out the rooms in three
configurations. As we did, a two bedroom suite. Or as a single
suite and a single bedroom suite.

very proud of.

Maurice, Steven, Cory and I enjoyed the Star Trek rides.
Though Maurice and I being more Trekkies than the others
we enjoyed the museum as much as the rides.

|
Paraphernalia from the movies and series is arranged in display cases along one side of
the walkway to the rides.

A "timeline" of
all events in the Star Trek universe lines the opposite side.

The Borg Experience has been added to the rides. |
|
Though enjoyable for the three-D effects, I did not find it as
good as the original Klingon Encounter (which is still there).
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
The "kids" enjoyed small amusement parks.

Three rides along the
simulation style of Star Trek, though more physically intense.

 |
Even the ceilings are overly decorated.
|
|
Steven and I took an afternoon to see
the Shark Reef before everyone going to the Excalibur show.

Steven had a very good time, especially here.
