If There's No Such Thing As Too Much 'Star Trek' June 1, 2012, 3:00 pm Star Trek fans who find that a convention dedicated to their favorite topic isn't enough of a journey can book a nine-day tour from Hollywood to Las Vegas, accompanied by an expert on the franchise. The trip is the first such excursion from Geek Nation Tours, which has offered tours of Las Vegas during the convention, in addition to others surrounding events like Comic-Con. The trip, from Aug. 4 to 13, was arranged by Teras Cassidy, the owner of Geek Nation Tours, in consultation with Larry Nemecek, a Star Trek authority. It includes stops at the Griffith Observatory (and the Leonard Nimoy Theater), the Tillman water plant, which was the site of the Starfleet Academy in the New Generation, and the Trona Pinnacles (above), a backdrop used in "Star Trek V," before heading into Las Vegas for the convention. Mr. Cassidy said that travelers are invited to pose in costume at various settings, and that at one stop - Vasquez Rocks county park - the original actor who depicted the Gorn captain in a battle with Captain Kirk will appear in character. The tickets - available at least through mid-June - will set you back $2,499 Canadian dollars (about the same in U.S. dollars), a small sum to pay to explore strange new worlds.
