ST:LV 61: TREK TO VEGAS
August 4-8, 2027
Rio Hotel & Casino

Las Vegas, NV 89103
Dear fellow Star Trek Fans:
Today as we are joyfully announcing the upcoming celebration of 61 years of Star Trek coming to LAS VEGAS, we are fondly remembering all the legendary stars and unique memories we’ve all made over the last 40 plus years of Creation Star Trek events. We’ve always tried to live up to Roddenberry’s hopes of an inclusive shared future that celebrates diversity, and we’ve tried to have our conventions reflect that community of ideals. In a world so separated, Star Trek and what it stands for really resonates for us more than ever.
With all that in mind, and coming off the 60th which was truly an amazing experience this past August, we are ready to go! First let’s take a brief look at some of the highlights of the 2026 edition of ST:LV.
Trek to Broadway: The Masters Edition
The stars truly came out on Thursday night. Talent from across the Trek spectrum, from shows new and old, sang their hearts out and gave the audience a performance to remember.

Galaxy Quest Reading
About a dozen Star Trek and sci-fi stars performed a hysterical reading of this fan-favorite movie in front of a packed house. We’ve heard rumor that some people are still laughing, two months later.
Saturday Night Gala
Three legendary composers – Jeff Russo, Cliff Eidelman, and Nami Melumad – guested on stage, joining the 40-piece orchestra and our esteemed Conductor Emiritus, Dick McGee, to perform many of the most powerful and memorable Star Trek tracks of the past 60 years.
Chase Masterson’s Happy Hour Lounge Act and 60th Anniversary Celebration
Chase Masterson and her band performed their lounge act in the Lounge Stage in front of a packed audience with ten Original Series actors in attendance for the Happy Hour celebration in their honor.
Enterprise 25th Reunion
Over 25 Star Trek Enterprise actors, writers, directors, producers, and crew were in attendance to celebrate this fabulous show’s 25th anniversary. There were several entertaining panels on stage, group photo ops, and a Saturday evening Happy Hour event featuring the Enterprise Blues Band.
The Eras Cosplay Contest
Something new was tried last year. To celebrate Star Trek’s 60th, we held individual cosplay contests all five days, with each day being focused on a specific Era, and the fans really showed up and showed out for this one, as we knew they would. As always, the fans delivered and made this new concept a big hit.
Celebrating 60 Years of Diversity
With 60 years of Star Trek, 5 convention days, and three unique stages, STLV is always chock full of panels embracing and celebrating diverse panels. 2026 was no exception. Creation endeavors to continue to highlight diversity, just like Star Trek has, at every show.
A Non-Human Celebrity
Quite possibly our biggest non-human celebrity ever was in attendance at STLV 2026. The original enterprise ship model that sat on Gene Roddenberry’s desk was brought to STLV by Rod Roddenberry and his team at Roddenberry Entertainment. To say the ship was a popular sight would be an understatement. We are still in awe of this addition and we thank the Roddenberry team for making it happen.
And so much more…
Plus, there were tons free movie screenings, outstanding main stage panels, Inglorious Treksperts programming — and over 150 guests, from newcomers James Cromwell, John Rhys-Davies, and Jack Quaid, to favorites like William Shatner, George Takei, and Scott Bakula! There was also this fun moment in which eight members of Lower Decks were finally reunited on stage!
Now, all of us at Creation, are proud to open up ST:LV 61: TREK TO VEGAS for GOLD SEATING (the best way to attend the full five days of the convention!)
