Room Block -
we do not purchase room blocks. Frequently our workshop
participants elect to stay at a hotel other than the one where
we are holding the workshop. When you call Reservations they will not be aware of the meeting because we
do not have a room block. You will need to contact the hotel
directly for reservations. We also recommend Hotels.com or
Expedia.com. |

Some things to see and do in Las Vegas:
|
|
Quark's Restaurant and Bar at the Las Vegas Hilton

Our
thoughts:
This restaurant is part of Star Trek: The Experience
complex at the Las Vegas Hilton. It's definitely a theme
restaurant in the style of a Hard Rock Cafe or Planet Hollywood,
with wacky names for its entrees (such as the "HamBorger" and
the "(Onion) Rings of Betazed").
The food
is good, and comes in big portions. We've been pleased with the
Caesar salad, Moogie's Pasta and the aforementioned HamBorger
and Rings of Betazed (a stack of onion rings with three
different dipping sauces). You
can imbibe some Romulan Ale or go for broke and get the Warp
Core Breach ,similar to a Scorpion Bowl.
If you're
lucky, some Star Trek characters will visit your table to make
sure everything is OK. We've gotten our photo taken with a
Ferengi, a Klingon and an Andorian who stay in character throughout, so if
you feel like playing along, go ahead and ask the Ferengi about the
Rules of Acquisition or yell out "Kap'lah" to the Klingon.
Tip:
Don't provoke the Klingon. |
