STLV Recap: Our Week in Vegas

Vegas is in the books, and we're debriefing.

This week on Trek Geeks: Thursday Night Geeks presented by FanSets, we're 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's 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 didn't 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 get the story from behind the decks and the mic.

We also get the first-timer perspective on everything else. What hit exactly the way they hoped. What nobody warns you about until you're 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?
