    You could get married on the bridge of the Enterprise D! By a Starfleet Officer (generic in dress whites) or an alien (Ferengi, Klingon). The cast members were all union SAG/AFTRA members.

    Quarks was incredibly overpriced and simultaneously totally worth it.

    They had a whole museum of props, plus a recreation of entire sets for the experience. It was incredible.

    I heard of this when I was a kid… always wanted to go, but never made it out… was still a poor university student by the time it shut down.

    The real stinger is that in 2014 my parents moved to Vegas, so I’m out that way all the time now… but a bit too late to experience it.

      it’s was like a REALLY expensive version of the disney minus most of the rides.

      the real treasure wasn eating/drinking at quarks and engaging with the vulcans, ferengi’s, klingons, etc. walking around the promenade replica and at the bar; they were REALLY dedicated to their characters.

    It was brilliant. They had these over priced, watered down multi liquor drinks called a Warp Core Breech which was alcohol served in a fish bowl with dry ice and long straws. We used to go all the time. It was a blast.

    Went there shortly before it closed. The bar was great, except there was this guy called Morn who wouldn’t shut up.

    I went in March 1998 right after getting married in Vegas! I remember it being really good. Quark’s served a cocktail for two called the Warp Core Breach that was the size of a fishbowl, got me and my new wife wasted. We may have had more than one. Still married 28 years later!

      i finished one of those myself and shared a double order of the holy rings of betazed while arguing about rules of acquisition with one of the ferengi actors; it was one of the most memorable meals i’ve ever had in my entire life… or atleast the parts i can remember that weren’t wiped out by the alcohol. lol

    I felt similarly after discovering there was a cryptid museum down the way here… until a few months ago. 😱😭🤦🏼‍♂️
