May 8 is the premiere date of the new Star Trek reboot movie through the eyes of J.J. Abrams.
That date was also anticipated as the reboot to The Star Trek Experience through Neonopolis owner Rohit Joshi.
While The Star Trek Experience will still be coming to downtown Las Vegas to give a boost to the mostly vacant Neonopolis, it won’t be simultaneous with the movie premiere.
CBS, which owns the license to Star Trek and its incarnations, has put the kibosh on having the show even remotely taking away business from the movie.
When the show does open (possibly later in May or summer), it will be an enhanced version of the long-running show that ran at the Las Vegas Hilton. It will include an IMAX 4D movie, museum, bar, restaurant, and gift shop. And all for less than $25 per ticket.
