Vegas is in the books, and we are debriefing.
This week on Trek Geeks: Thursday Night Geeks presented by FanSets, we are joined by Mike Slamer and Ashley Thomas from We Are Starfleet, right here on the Trek Geeks Podcast Network. Both of them made the trip to STLV: Trek to Vegas for the first time, and there is no better year to do it than the 60th anniversary. Five days at the Rio, a guest list nearly 200 deep, and the entire franchise under one roof.
Ashley did not exactly ease into it, either. She pulled double duty as DJ and Trivia Host at this year's FanGeeks Party, which means her first Vegas included running the room while the rest of us were in it. We are getting the story from behind the decks and the mic.
We are also getting the first timer perspective on everything else. What hit exactly the way they hoped. What nobody warns you about until you are standing in your fourth line of the day. The panels that stopped them cold, the moments that only happen in that room, and whether the whole thing lived up to sixty years of buildup.
Plus our own takes on the week, the highlights worth revisiting, and the honest answer to the question every fan eventually asks: is Vegas worth it?
Thursday night at 8pm ET, live on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Bring your own convention stories to the chat.
