Madonna has announced her “Sticky and Sweet” tour for up to 60 concert dates around the world.

Madonna holds the title of having the highest grossing concert by a solo female artist, and this tour looks to be no different. At least, that’s what Live Nation is hoping, which has Madonna under partnership for $120 million. Her last tour grossed $260 million, and this time she’ll be in larger stadiums.

Her tour begins right after her 50th birthday. It begins Aug. 23 in Wales and different parts of Europe before landing in North America (New Jersey) on Oct. 3.

She performs at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Nov. 8. Tickets are not yet on sale, but check her website for advanced ticket information.

The Star Trek exhibit at the Las Vegas Hilton could end by the end of the year.

Since 1998, fans of the TV series have traveled to the Hilton from around the world to see “Star Trek: The Experience,” which encompasses two shows (including “Borg Invasion 4D” since 2004), Quark’s Bar themed bar/restaurant (home to our favorite warp core breech drink) with actors in character, a museum, and a store.

According to TrekMovie.com, owners CBS and Cedar Fair said there are no plans to renew the exhibit, which expires at the end of this year.

A final decision is expected at the end of May. If The Experience does indeed close, it would be in early fall in order to have time to remove everything from the Hilton and return to CBS.

Las Vegas Hilton is host to an annual Star Trek convention, largely because of The Experience. There’s no word on whether the conventions will continue at the Hilton.

For a limited time, the Las Vegas Hilton has two of the only Star Trek-themed slot machines in existence, located right outside of The Experience and featuring “adaptive gaming,” in which players can create logins and pick up where they left off. We suspect those machines may be all that is left of Star Trek at the Hilton by next year.
