When the summer heat begins to bake Las Vegas, the last thing you want to be doing is hoofing it around town from one hotel casino to the next. To solve the problem, the Vegas city planners have implemented a solution reminiscent of Disneyland — a monorail! Now, before you start recalling old Simpson's episodes, bear in mind that this is no ordinary monorail. The Las Vegas version will stop at seven stations covering a four mile circuit around town. Traveling at speeds up to 50 m.p.h., the journey will take approximately 14 minutes. The monorail should alleviate some traffic and also encourage people to visit multiple venues, including the Las Vegas Hilton, featuring Star Trek:The Experience, Quark's and the new "Borg Invasion 4D."

When the monorail finally opens this summer, at least one of the trains will appear Borgified on the outside. For an unspecified period of time, this car will carry a promotional message to visit the all-new "Borg Invasion 4D" attraction. Until then, the car is still visible, often times parked outside the Hilton.

For those paying a visit to the Hilton, you can swing by Quark's and feast on a revamped menu, complete with some new, powerful sounding drinks like the "Borg Sphere" and the "Warp Core Breach."

Food wise, you may want to sample such apetizing items as the Targ Empanadas, Chakotay Pizzette or the Coconut Tribble Skewer. Added to the exotic drinks (The James Tea Kirk is a fave) the menu at Quark's is a veritable feast of great Star Trek puns.
