FIVE BIG DAYS OF FAN-FRIENDLY ENTERTAINMENT AND FUN
SHOW TIMES
The show schedule is posted the week of the convention to accommodate flight itineraries and filming schedules of our celebrities, but here are the tentative times for the show:
• The pre-registration night before the convention generally runs from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
• The convention programming usually starts around 9:00-10:00 AM and ends around 5:00-6:00 PM.
• Evening events will be scheduled after 6:00 PM.
NOTE: All guests and scheduling are tentative and subject to change. Our best advice is to plan for these time variabilities and check the schedule (on the Schedule page) as soon as it is available.
Best Convention/Live Event – Treksperts Track at STLV
This year’s Las Vegas Creation convention featured a separate programming track from The Inglorious Treksperts, with a schedule so extensive it could’ve been a convention all its own. Packed full of anniversary celebrations, a diverse array of panels, and even a re-enactment of Plan Nine from Outer Space, it was almost a throwback to conventions of old, which were somewhat less celebrity-driven and allowed other contributors to the franchise (writers, designers, FX artists) to be recognized for their work. It was very well received by convention-goers and we hope to see more programming like this in the future. – Brian Drew
Look for more incredible programming as we once again max out the fun for all in attendance.

COMPOSER JEFF RUSSO TO SHOWCASE HIS AWARD-WINNING MUSIC AT THE SATURDAY NIGHT GALA
We are excited to have Jeff Russo as our special Conductor Emeritus for The Saturday Evening Gala, the cornerstone musical event at Creation’s ST:LV Trek to Vegas, sharing pieces from his amazing scores for Star Trek shows like Discovery, Picard, Section 31 & Strange New Worlds.
As a fantastic bonus to the evening, the prolific and Emmy award-winning composer will also be giving the ST:LV audience a world-premiere performance of portions of his score for FX’s Alien: Earth, the eagerly awaited upcoming FX series from show creator Noah Hawley, inspired by the acclaimed feature film franchise. Noah and Jeff’s collaboration spans over a decade and includes their partnership on FX’s widely lauded series, Fargo and Legion.
And Jeff will welcome special guest Emerson Hart from his band Tonic to perform some songs! "It’s a dream project.” Russo shared with his global audience. "I’m incredibly inspired to gather some of the most exciting moments and surprises from my musical career and present them live in a unique manner at Creation Entertainment’s event!”
A complete orchestra will come together to create a bespoke evening of musical magic. There will be something for everyone in this once-in-a-lifetime performance!
The Gala is included in the full convention GOLD, CAPTAIN’S CHAIR or COPPER packages, keeping your same great seats! For everyone else, you can still attend the Gala by purchasing an a la carte ticket. Convention passes are not required to attend the Gala.
Note: The Gala ticket does not include admission to the convention.
TREK TO BROADWAY 2: THE DUETS
In 2024 our Trek to Broadway Thursday Night Dinner, exclusive to Gold Patrons, was a huge and amazing event, one of the true highlights of the two decades of the Trek Vegas Conventions
Check out the amazing Wilson Cruz & Celia Rose Gooding from last year's Trek to Broadway! One of our all-time fav moments of the convention.

This time around, we are once again leveling up with a double dose of talent!

SUNDAY NIGHT’S RAT PACK PERFORMANCE
Years ago a fan wrote us and said we should end our convention with an upbeat event, so we took that suggestion to heart and created the Rat Pack tradition we now all look forward to. This hilarious show travels back to the 1950s with our stars performing their version of the iconic Rat Pack, including song parodies written by ultra-talented Max Grodenchik. Along with Max, the Rat Pack also includes Jeffrey Combs, Casey Biggs and Vaughn Armstrong. The event takes place after the conclusion of the convention on SUNDAY and is FREE to all attendees.
