The Las Vegas Star Trek Attraction That Almost Came to Life in 1992:

In 1992, downtown Las Vegas had become a distant second to the Las Vegas Strip. … The loss of business was turning the downtown area into a “ghost town” and something needed to be done quickly. The city needed an attraction – something of enough size and power to bring the people back to the downtown area. …

My concept was to do something so large and so epic, it would fire the imaginations of people around the world. … I went to Chuck Canciller, my lead designer then – and a genius as well – and said, “What if we built the STARSHIP ENTERPRISE – FULL SCALE – on the land at the end of the street. Imagine that…”

I really wish this would have happened.
