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.”
