Almost the last chance to see the "Experience" as it is going to "end its mission" at the Hilton on September 1st
Whether you are a Trekkie or Trekker you should take a bit of time from the CommVex schedule to go to the Hilton and visit Star Trek: The Experience attraction not only includes the experience tours and dining at Quark's Bar but also the largest Star Trek Retail store (get just about everything there fron TOS to Enterprise collectibles as well as from the Movies) See the Star Trek Themed sets and the futuristc Casino area as well as the big models hanging from above, talk to the 'experience' cast between shows, pose with the many life-sized figures.

DEFCON XVI

Have a small vacation and hang around Las Vegas to attend the hacker's convention, Defcon 16, at the Riviera Hotel & Casino. http://www.defcon.org
IT'S LAS VEGAS, BABY - LIVE IT!
Experience the lights and excitement In the evenings before and after the Expo (or for the spouse and kids while you attend) there is a wealth of extravagant hotels, entertainment spots, shopping, and casinos to visit and many have spectacular shows to see. http://www.visitlasvegas.com/vegas/index.jsp (even the Motel 6 there has a flashy sign!).

Tip from the Missus - if you want to go from casino to casino the best/least expensive method is The Duece Bus Route which is a double decker bus that travels from Fremont Streeet all the way over to Mandalay Bay, two dollars per trip or five dollars for a 24 hour pass - a great value either way.

ATOMIC TESTING MUSEUM
learn about atomic testing without getting burned!
ATM permanent exhibits have been under development since 1997. NTSHF trustees, volunteers and members, led by the Canadian design team of Andre & Knowlton Associates from Victoria, British Columbia, have worked with DRI and DOE personnel, the national laboratories and museums such as the Smithsonian to create the Atomic Testing Museum's galleries and exhibits.

ATM permanent exhibits portray world history as community history through varied representations of the story of the NTS and its programs, first-person narratives, large iconic artifacts, authenticity of text, environmental re-creations, theatrical devices, interactive elements for personal exploration, multiple viewpoints expressed in multi-media presentations and stunning graphics, many not seen before.
