Own a piece of Star Trek: The Experience, or Experience it again online

TrekMovie is Reporting, that CBS has decided to sell off assets from the original Star Trek: The Experience attraction in Las Vegas that closed in September, 2008.

Holodeck 3 staff visited the Experience days before it was shut down, and I can tell you it was sad to see the attraction already starting to be stripped to bare necessities (most of the shops were closed).

But there is hope. While the re-opening of The Experience in Vegas (At the Neonopolis Mall in Downtown Las Vegas) has been delayed several times (CBS and Neonopolis were originally hoping for a release to coincide with the new Star Trek movie), it is still ongoing, and CBS has decided that rather then try to re-use everything, a lot of the original pieces of the Experience will be rebuilt (or replaced with something new and different) in the new version.

They are keeping all of the Museum pieces to either continue to showcase at the new Star Trek Experience, or add to their collections on tour with Star Trek: The Exhibition, but many of the pieces originally created for the Star Trek Experience (including items such as the seats on the simulators) are being put up on a big Star Trek Yard Sale!

Yes, soon you will be able to own a piece of the historic 11 year run of The Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton, perhaps you could buy some original signage from the Promenade, or perhaps a set piece from their fantastic recreations of the Enterprise D.

In other Star Trek: The Experience news, while the original attraction may be gone, you can still take a look at it, as the "virtual tour" company DigitalProperties has created a site with many 360 degree VR images from the attraction as it was in 2008.
