In 2016, Star Trek was celebrating it’s 50th Anniversary. And in true Vegas fashion, STLV50 as it will be forever known, was a convention that we may not see the likes of ever again. It marked the only time in the history of STLV that the convention ever sold out. The Rio was sold out, The Gold Coast was sold out, and the overflow went to The Palms. Day 1 of the convention would see long lines due to security checks, scalpers, yes ticket scalpers at STLV, and this would be the first year that STLV expanded to the 5 day event we know today.
Here is our first episode recapping #STLV50: Ten Forward Podcast #201 – STLV Part 1
“This week we bring you special correspondent Robert Reyes at the Star Trek 50th Anniversary convention in Las Vegas! A great big thanks to Robert for giving those of us who aren’t at the convention a look at the excitement of the 50th anniversary party.”

As it has become a tradition here with our STLV Coverage, we end 2018 at the World Famous Masquerade Bar. Let me set the stage, it’s just after midnight and The Rat Pack Concert had ended about an hour ago. Many people have come to the Masquerade Bar for one last night of hanging out with their Trek Family before the reality of packing and catching their flight back home starts to set in. I’m wondering around asking people to share their thoughts on the convention. Along the way we had an impromptu concert by some members of the band, Sons of Kirk. One lucky person tries to win a microwave. We have our yearly interview with Dr. Trek, Larry Nemecek. This is how we close out STLV 2018 at The Promenade Podcast. Enjoy.
And as the sun sets on Day 5 of STLV 2018 this is our penultimate episode from this year’s convention. Sunday was a blur for everyone. The last 2 Discovery Cast panels, final purchases in the vendors room, last time hanging out with friends we only see once a year. This episode will make hours seem like minutes. Enjoy!
Here is our first episode in our coverage of STLV 2018. Now I wasn’t able to attend the first 2 days of the convention, so our coverage starts on Day 3 from an undisclosed location near The Las Vegas Strip. We then move on to The Rio where all the action is. We run into some old friends, and we meet some new ones along with a few surprises. Enjoy.
We return from a few months on personal leave for our STLV 2018 Preview Show. We talk about all the official and unofficial events that are happening at and around STLV. Let us help you plan your STLV.
