Unlike so many other genre conventions, Creation Entertainment has a strict company policy not to "oversell" our conventions. In other words, every patron, no matter what bracket of ticket they purchase, will have a seat in the main auditorium where the major guests appear and events take place. Nothing upsets us more than hearing about other conventions that sell tickets to patrons and then those very same patrons have to wait on additional lines inside the facility to get into (or sometimes not!) the main theatre. An important Creation Entertainment difference we want you to know about!
The Creation difference extends to our 40 years experience in running fan conventions. In the last few years we've seen promoter after promoter fail taking hard earned ticket money down with them. Inexperienced promoters, often first-timers, use celebrity images and names to get ticket money which they use to hopefully pay their expenses. When that fails they've already gone through "your" ticket money and they collapse leaving no recourse for ticket holders. They say "buyer beware" but this has happened in Twilight, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly fandom (to name just a few) and we really feel for those great fans who have lost their ticket money and upset travel plans.
STAR TREK

ALL GUESTS are contracted to appear and all convention contracts specify that appearances are tentative and subject to change as film and television work demands take precedence as can a personal conflict. Our events will take place whether a specific guest cancels or not (we always try to book replacements) and therefore we can not issue admission ticket or ticket package refunds if a particular guest does not fulfill their appearance contract. Of course we will always refund separately purchased photo ops and autograph tickets for a guest if they cancel.
PHOTO TAKING POLICY AT THIS CONVENTION
We know that taking photos makes the convention even more fun and we thought it would be a good idea to share our photo taking policies for you before you arrive at the convention so you can prepare. In the auditorium, photo taking is encouraged, but only from your seat. It is unfair to run up to the stage and block the view of others who have paid for reserved seats in front of you. Even if there are empty seats, patrons must sit in the seats they paid for to be fair to everyone. Due to fire marshall regulations everyone must be seated during performances. Please also be courteous to your neighbors when taking pictures. Photo taking is not allowed during autographing sessions nor during the photo ops. Only those people who have autograph tickets may come up to get autographs. At the Gold Exclusive Parties and Breakfast: photo taking is encouraged when the guests arrive (but only from your seats). After a sufficient time for all to get their photos we ask that your cameras be placed down so the celebrities can enjoy their time at the two food functions. Thank you for understanding the need to have these few rules so everyone is safe and has fun.
The vast majority of our guest celebrities take questions from the audience during their on-stage time. Therefore it is incumbent upon those that ask questions to make them ones that allow our mutual shared time with the celebrities to be enjoyable, interesting and entertaining for all (including the guest). Asking for hugs, telling stars we love them (we all do, that's why we're here), giving gifts, getting into long personal stories, or worse, is not acceptable for this format and, in fact, is quite self-centered when you are in essence "representing" all of fandom to a celebrity. Join us in trying to make this convention the best entertainment for everyone!
In the event of convention cancellations or date changes Creation Entertainment is not responsible for patrons' costs involving travel or hotel accommodations or any other non convention ticket expenses.
Advance ticket sales are generally turned off early to mid-week of the week of the events. Tickets, if they are not sold out, are sold at the convention of course.
Comic book and entertainment fans owe much to the legendary JACK KIRBY, the revered talent who co-created the Marvel mythology and made many early appearances with us, among his most devoted followers. Although his passing never allowed Jack to see the amazing success of his characters in film we do know that his appearances at conventions always brought down the house!
It is always great when we can personally thank a performer for an absolutely beautifully done job and that was just the treat when John Noble appeared in Feb of 2013 wrapping up his epic FRINGE series, one of our all-time favorite shows!
The beautiful and talented Alfre Woodard graced her stages to reminisce about her appearance in Star Trek as Lily in the movie Star Trek: First Contact, but of course she is best known for being an Academy Award and Grammy nominated actress as well as having an incredible 17 Emmy nominations (winning four).
Our Vegas Star Trek Convention is ALWAYS full of surprises! Sir Patrick Stewart joins William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy in this once in a lifetime moment! We're glad we were there!
In 2006, space pioneers, astronauts Wally Schirra and Alan Bean, guested at Grand Slam: it was an honor!

Three of the most popular actors on the planet graced our stages along with their The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn director: Bill Condon, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner helped us make history at an official fan gathering done in conjunction with the press junket and in association with Summit Entertainment.
Our first convention program in 1971, ticket prices were $1.50 a day and our special guest was legendary comic artist superstar Jim Steranko!
We even had time to publish 6 issues of a popular comic art fanzine called Infinity when we were teenagers. Back in the days before the internet, printed fanzines and conventions helped keep fandom connected.
When we ran The Official STAR WARS Convention we brought in Gene Roddenberry as a surprise and this moment in time was a true highlight. Gene was a great mentor of ours and he is always in our thoughts, especially when we gather for our Official STAR TREK Conventions.
LOST was one of the great TV series of all-time and we were proud to be an official licensee for the show. Here three of the stars, Ian Somerhalder, Evangeline Lilly and Naveen Andrews, grace our stages in a Creation Convention appearance.
Two of our most popular celebrity guests from the Stargate franchise making their only Creation appearance together on stage: Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping! We love following their careers post Stargate and look forward to enjoying their work for years to come!
How's this for cool? Arnold as THE Terminator at our Official T-2 Convention, an awesome occasion!
A VERY special moment in Creation History
BILL SHATNER & LEONARD NIMOY toasting the 40th Anniversary of Star Trek on the exact day, 4 decades later, that the original series began its TV run! Taken in Chicago at Creation's Salute to Star Trek's 40th! Thanks, Bill and Leonard for being such a big part of Creation Entertainment! Who would have thought that as kids that watched classic Trek, that one day we'd be working with these show biz legends!
History is made again at Creation when LEONARD NIMOY passes the ceremonial "#1 Vulcan" tee-shirt to the new Mr. Spock ZACHARY QUINTO. It all happened in front of the audience at Grand Slam XVI. Creation Conventions: it is ALL about making wonderful memories like this!
Superstar Legend Jack Nicholson made the "Creation" scene, a definite ultra-cool moment in our 40 plus year history!
Growing up watching THE AVENGERS was a particular joy so when Patrick Macnee joined the Creation line-up of stars it was a joyous occasion for us and his many fans!
It's never happened before or after but it was another of our proudest moments: having four STAR TREK Captains share the stage. Let's hope we can pull it off again some day and add a few more?
Long-time Creation friend (and early fan attendee turned superstar producer) DEAN DEVLIN brought along friends Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer to one of our shows. Dean is currently behind one of TV's greatest shows LEVERAGE!
The impeccable Ricardo Montalban created Star Trek's most popular villian as Khan but in person he truly was one of a kind and his two appearances for us were definitely amongst the most memorable! He is sorely missed by all Trekkers and was indeed a Hollywood classic himself!
Gracious and supportive to us as ever William Shatner made sure first time Creation guest star Joan Collins (in her only convention appearance) was comfortable on stage, reunited decades after their ultra-popular classic Trek appearance together!
As promised, a seat for all! Here's a scene of the amazing theatre we used for years for our Las Vegas Star Trek Convention. At Creation shows: no waiting and worrying about seeing the stars!
Pretty Cool we'd say to have welcomed the ultra talented Elijah Wood as Creation promoted several Official LORD OF THE RINGS events. We can't wait to do it all again for the new films!
Here's some shots of Leonard Nimoy's last convention appearance (courtesy of Paul Harvath), taken at our Chicago 2011 Official STAR TREK Convention. Thank You Leonard for your three decade association with Creation: we've loved every minute of presenting you to your adoring fans (of which we number ourselves!):
Leonard Nimoy's emotional farewell to Star Trek Conventions: 2011 Chicago

PANEL EVENT: A LOOK AT MATT JEFFERIES,
CLASSIC STAR TREK'S ART DIRECTOR
Richard L. Jefferies, brother of Matt Jefferies, TOS art director for Star Trek, reveals various sources and events which inspired Matt's iconic designs of the U.S.S.Enterprise, the Klingon Battle Cruiser and a countless variety of imaginative sets. Matt's passion for aviation was shared by Gene Roddenberry (both flew B-17 bombers in WWll and both were interested in science-fiction at an early age). Impressed with Matt's work as an aviation artist, Roddenberry challenged him to conceive a space ship "unlike any other". Matt reached back in time for source material and inspiration. The genius of his futuristic designs is renowned. His life's journey is told in "Beyond the Clouds", authored by Richard who is signing books at his table in the vendors room.

STAR TREK SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PANELS
Presented by Joseph Dickerson, technologist and User Experience Architect and editor of This Week in Star Trek. Joseph will be offering two presentations: Treknology: What technologies need to be invented to bring us up to speed with Star Trek and The Human Adventure is Just Beginning based on how technology is reshaping our world and how the optimistic future of Star Trek is not only possible but probable.
The Star Trek multiverse was supposed to be similar to ours. In this talk we will be looking at instances where the science is correct and not extensions or extrapolation of what we know today. Lecturer Dr. Ronald Held holds a Ph. D from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. His research topics have been heavily influenced by Star Trek.
Mars: From Mariner to Curiosity and Beyond:
Join Professor David Williams from Arizona State University's School
of Earth and Space Exploration for a talk discussing the planet Mars, what
we've learned about this strange world, including results from the
first year of the Curiosity rover's exploration of the surface. (This one hour discussion will take place Friday)
100 Worlds and Counting:
Exploring Active Worlds in the Outer
Solar System:
Join Professor David Williams, who worked on NASA's Galileo Jupiter
orbiter mission, for a discussion of the most active moons of the outer
solar system. From firey Io to icy Europa, from Enceladus with its
geysers to Titan with its methane lakes, rivers, and seas, these are
truely strange new worlds that we are just beginning to explore. (This one hour discussion will take place Saturday)
"Deep Space Nine and American History"
(Presented on Friday)
Since its premiere in 1966, Star Trek has always provided thought-provoking social commentary on the important issues and events of the day. Beginning in 1993, Deep Space Nine continued this tradition offering some of the most memorable and fascinating episodes that addressed controversial issues that confronted American society at the end of 20th-century. While DS9 offered compelling stories and drama, it did not shy away from exploring important topics from race and terrorism to genetic engineering and religion. In short, Deep Space Nine offers us insight into the important controversies, issues, and anxieties of late twentieth-century American history.
Lecturer information: John Putman is an Associate Professor in history at San Diego State University and an expert in the history of California, the American West, and modern America. He has combined his passion for history and Star Trek by developing an upper-division history course entitled, "Star Trek, Culture, and History." John also has a chapter entitled, "Terrorizing Space: Star Trek, Terrorism, and History" in the forthcoming volume Star Trek and History (Wiley, April 2013).
Joseph Dickerson (technologist, User Experience Architect and editor of This Week in Star Trek) will be presenting two panels at Star Trek Las Vegas:
Treknology: What technologies need to be invented to bring us up to speed with Star Trek?
Phasers, tricorders, transporters, warp speed... All "made up" by Star Trek writers and producers, right? Except... we are getting close to seeing many of these "made up" innovations come true. Some are here already! In this panel, Joseph Dickerson discusses how far we have come to implementing "Treknology" in the real world, and what work still needs to be done.
The Human Adventure is Just Beginning
This panel will discuss how, thanks to "tech philanthropists" and advances in applied sciences, the optimistic vision of the future held by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry is not only possible but probable.
STAR TREK & THE MILITARY: The Veterans Panel
Want to discuss the similarities and differences between the US Armed Forces and Star Fleet Command? How has Star Trek affected your career? Want to discuss your feelings about being a dependent of a US service member and watching Star Trek? Come join us for a great discussion on these topics and more. Active duty, Retired, Air Force, Navy, Army, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard, Reserves, and Law Enforcement are encouraged to attend as well as all other fans. Our distinguished panel includes: Anthony Kwan (retired USAF), Mark Strosin (active duty navy), Michael Nguyen (Army Reserve), and moderator Doug Murrray (US ARMY)
Agenda topics:
|
• Why Military Guys and Gals Love Trek! • How Star Trek affected their lives and careers • Is Starfleet like the military • Being a Trekkie in an Alpha Male Environment • Why no Red Shirt women then? However, women military roles are changing today • "I used character X's example to make this military decision" • Starfleet as both an exploring organization but also slightly military? • Rank, and insignia similarities • Chain of command • Force Multipliers • Fleet Marines • What it means to be in Command |
• What it means to be in Command • Reds Shirts, it hurts to lose even one • Prime Directive, the same as today’s rules of engagement • Strategic Tactics • Engagement Tactics • Money is not the objective in the future, and/or today • Leadership similarities • Naval traditions similarities • Ship crew composition similarities • Civilian - Military relation similarities • Star Trek VI similarities with the end of the Cold War and other actual events |
RODDENBERRY.COM
The Creation/Roddenberry association is one of our most treasured friendships spanning decades going back to the early support of Gene and Majel and our very first Star Trek conventions. Now we are proud to have their son, Eugene, a creative and talented fellow in his own right, appear with us in Vegas offering insights into the development of Star Trek as well as keeping us informed about his efforts to launch new projects that have his father's vision and philosophy. Here are two of Eugene's panel events planned for 2013
1. Mission Log:
Imagine a podcast with the sole purpose of exploring the Star Trek universe one episode at a time. That’s right, this podcast, produced by Roddenberry Entertainment, will cover six different series and 30 seasons of television by journeying into every one of the 726 episodes with a single mission: to explore, debate and discuss one of the largest science fiction phenomena of all time, Star Trek.
2. Gene Roddenberry’s Humanist Legacy:
Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry and John Champion will host an open discussion panel about the underlying principles that informed Star Trek.

CAPTAIN'S CHAIR WEEKEND ADMISSION PACKAGE - SOLD OUT(Click for details...)
PREFERRED WEEKEND ADMISSION PACKAGES
With Gold Weekend Packages and Captain's Chair Packages long gone, our next level of full convention ticketing, The Preferred Weekend Packages, are now available! These are a great way to come to the convention and enjoy what the show has to offer ALL FOUR daytimes and many fans actually prefer them not only for their lower cost but because they allow patrons some time to enjoy all of what Vegas offers outside of the convention. Here are the benefits included in your Preferred Weekend Package:
1) A reserved seat, yours come and go, all FOUR days of the convention in our main theatre. This gorgeous state of the art auditorium with a fixed stage is where our major guests and events take place. Your seat is located behind or to the sides of our Gold (now sold out) and Captain's Chair Patrons (soon to be sold out).
2) You can select your own seat(s) with our new theatre floor plan chart which is available when you place your order!
3) Admission into our Secondary Program Theatre where many great events take place throughout the convention, mostly focusing on the science and writing of Star Trek, along with supporting guests, audience discussions and auctions. Our Secondary Theatre also features a beautiful built-in stage suitable for great presentations!
4) Specially color coded wristbands and collector's lanyard credentials which are worn through the convention: once you register you don't need to wait again for the rest of the convention! Unlike other fan conventions once you get your full convention wristband you are TOTALLY set for the weekend and YOU can choose what stars and events you want to see! You don't have to wait to get into the main theatre: there are ALWAYS enough seats for EVERYONE! This is the famous Creation difference that we like all our attendees to know about! The Vegas show in particular is a theatrical experience in the main theatre: we want you to fully enjoy it without worry!
5) Complimentary Star Trek Collectors Limited Edition Gold Coin themed for the convention and generally only available at the convention itself. The 12th in the series!
6) Pre-Registration the night before the convention. You'll be amongst the first to get entrance into the massive DEALERS ROOM so you can pick up souvenirs, schedules and gifts as well as get your credentials set for the show! Pre- Registration is a convenience, but not a necessity. You can also come during regular convention hours to register.
7) Admission to our famous vendors room filled with tons of Star Trek and genre collectibles both old and new! Come to browse, come to trade, come to buy!
8) Keep your same seat for the Saturday Night Gala Celebration: STAR TREK ON BROADWAY starring many Star Trek celebrity favorites who bring a little Broadway to our celebration show. This should be awesome and a convention first!

GENERAL ADMISSION WEEKEND
Here is the most economical way to attend all four daytimes of the convention. You get to see all the guests and events in the main theatre from a non-reserved seat and of course you get admission to the vendors area and the secondary theatre as well. This option does not include autographs or photo ops which you can order separately below. FOUR DAYS filled with stars and fellow fans from around the galaxy, all at an unbelievable price! Compare to concerts and other shows in Las Vegas that are just a few hours and often cost WAY more: here you are getting four full days of entertainment and a guaranteed seat in our main theatre: an awesomely sweet deal!
ONLY $149
SINGLE DAY RESERVED SEATING
Here is the best way to attend any single day(s) of The Official STAR TREK Convention in Las Vegas. This option gives you a reserved seat in our main theatre which is yours come and go all day. This is where all the major guests and events occur. You also get admission into our secondary theatre (which will also feature guests, events, contests and presentations) and our vendors area of course. You receive a specifically designed wristband that allows access all day to these areas, and with our ticketing system you can actually pick your seat in the main theatre.
As a comparison to other events in Vegas, here are some sample current ticket prices: SANTANA is $89.50 to $350, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE PLATINUM SEATS $350 to $450, DAVID COPPERFIED $90 TO $240, LOVE, The Beatles Show at the Mirage charges $106.45 to $218.70, CARROT TOP $67.80 to $80.05, TERRY FATOR is $89.43 to $184.03, The Blue Group is $101.85 to $147.50, David Copperfield is $84.49 to $228.94, All these shows are great fun but they run for just a few hours where at The Official Star Trek Convention you get a full giant day filled with stars, theatrical performances, events, and contests! This is why we say that we're offering the best entertainment value around and we know you'll agree! In fact, thanks to your great support last year we've even been able to lower all of our single day reserved ticket pricing to give YOU an even greater deal than ever!
This option does not include autographs or photo ops which you can order separately below.
SINGLE DAY RESERVED SEATING is priced as follows:
THURSDAY: $60
FRIDAY: $60
SATURDAY: $80
SUNDAY: $80
GENERAL ADMISSION SINGLE DAYS
This is the most cost effective way to attend any one day of the convention. You get to see all the guests and events in the rear or sides of the main theatre from a non-reserved guaranteed seat and of course you get admission to the vendors area and the secondary theatre as well. This option does not include autographs or photo ops which you can order separately below. Far be it from us to say that we feel that our general admission prices are OUTRAGEOUSLY UNBELIEVABLE especially compared to other forms of LIVE entertainment, particularly in Vegas, so make your plans NOW to be part of the action that is like no other!
THURSDAY GENERAL ADMISSION TICKET: $35
FRIDAY GENERAL ADMISSION TICKET: $35
SATURDAY GENERAL ADMISSION TICKET: $40
SUNDAY GENERAL ADMISSION TICKET: $40
AUTOGRAPH TICKETS
Autograph and Photo Op Tickets do not include admission to the convention. You must have an admission ticket for the convention in order to redeem autograph and photo op tickets.
Vegas is all about having fun and meeting the stars... here is a incredibly rare chance to get an in person autograph from the sensational stars that hold a special place in our hearts for their amazing work over the course of Star Trek's 46 year history. These stars will sign any item you bring from home or buy at the convention. There will be tons of great photographs and other collectibles available at the convention that will be suitable for signing purposes. If you have autographs included in the ticket packages you have purchased and you want more than one autograph per celebrity you can purchase them here and then get all your signatures from that celebrity at the same (first) time you are called up. DAYS OF AUTOGRAPHING ARE TO BE ANNOUNCED unless noted at the guest listing at the top of the site, therefore we suggest that you order these at the present time ONLY if you are attending the full convention.
Please note that celebrities denoted by ** are signing on a complimentary basis for our Gold Weekend Patrons! If you don't have a Gold package you need to buy an autograph ticket for these celebrities. This list is tentative and subject to change.
On rare occasions a patron will purchase a large number of signatures of a celebrity appearing at the show. In this case, Creation reserves the right to have this signing done either at the end or before the autograph sessions so we do not have to keep the rest of the patrons waiting so long. If you are ordering 20 or more signatures of one celebrity please write to booking@creationent.com after your purchase your tickets so we can try to set up a private signing at the convention for you. THANKS!

PHOTO OPS
Photo Op Tickets do not include admission to the convention. You must have an admission ticket for the convention to enter into the photo op areas. Due to security considerations and guest concerns we cannot facilitate the giving of gifts to guests at the photo op sessions. LIMIT OF TWO FANS PER PHOTO-OP, NO EXCEPTIONS PLEASE! TWO FANS CAN BE IN THE PHOTO OP FOR THE PRICE OF ONE PHOTO OP TICKET.
One of the highlights of the convention is the opportunity to have a professionally shot photograph of you with the celebrity of your choice. Creation Entertainment's staff photographers are acknowledged as the best by far in the fan field and we make both our attendees and the celebrities feel super comfortable. So get yourself ready for a souvenir simply like no other. Limit of up to TWO fans per photo op. No gift giving is allowed at the photo op sessions. Please note that days if not noted are still to be determined, therefore only buy these if you are attending the full convention. Please visit our FAQs on Creation Photo Ops http://www.creationent.com/cal/phops_faq.htm

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
A schedule of events will be posted as we get closer to the event.
All guests and scheduling is tentative and subject to change.
Creation assumes no responsibility for typographical errors or inaccurate information provided by convention venues. All dates, venues and guests are considered tentative and subject to change. Check back frequently for updates.
NOTE: ALL TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-EXCHANGEABLE. ABSOLUTELY NO AUDIO OR VIDEOTAPING ALLOWED AT ANY CONVENTION. Still photography is for personal use only - public dissemination and commercial use strictly prohibited.
By attending Creation events you agree to allow your image to be used on our website and in news documentaries or stories, either filmed by Creation Entertainment or other entities.
All ticket prices are subject to change, please order as early as possible.
In the unlikely event of a cancellation of the convention, or a date change, Creation Entertainment is not responsible for refunding airfare or any other costs other than the payments made directly to Creation Entertainment for ticketing. Also in the unlikely event, due to weather, transit issues or last minute illness or other reason given by celebrity, an advertised guest does not make their appearance at the convention, Creation Entertainment is not responsible for any refunds other than separate specific to the guest autograph tickets or photo op tickets. In the extremely rare chance that a guest does not finish his or her autographs or photo ops (which has only happened in a hand full of cases over 40 plus years, always due to something out of our control) Creation Entertainment will only be responsible for the refund of the separate autograph or photo op ticket.
