Has it been 27 years? That’s how long AVN’s Adult Entertainment Expo has been running. I recall earlier years it was held at Sands and usually starts at the same time as CES. The last 2 years it was held at Resorts World but before that it’s been at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino (now known as Virgin Hotels)

Things definitely had a rocky start, with the Culinary union’s (Local 226) strike against Virgin Hotels that lasted over 2 months was just insane! With the strike going on, members of Adult Performance Artists Guild (APAG) were definitely standing behind the union. A lot of exhibitors and performers were concern about the strike even though Virgin Hotels assured them there will be zero impact. And back then I didn’t believe that for one bit! But here we are, the day before the show was about to start, the strike magically ended.
Sadly the damage was done, PornHub, one of the larger exhibitors, pulled out of the show. Along with many other performers that were supposed to attend.




As you can see, the show is still crowded being how I got there at the last hour since I was stuck at my day job. Check back at this spot for photos and videos from the event.

Day 2 update: Once again I was stuck at my day job, I did manage to catch the last hour of the show. Still did not get into Vixen booth as they have a separate security line (super long!) just get into their booth. I’ve heard the wait was over 2 hours! (No thank you!)
Also note the security are super strict regarding code of conducts. I’ve heard a lot of performers got into trouble due to their poses (outfits), etc. One was not even allowed to show “under boob” like what world are we living in when an adult performer CANNOT show her under boob at an Adult convention. That’s just crazy talk. My guess is these securities are hired/managed by Virgin Hotels so AVN has no authority over them.

Day 3 update: Friday is always the main day (aka the most crowded day) and this year is no different. I managed to there around 3pm and it was definitely a MAD HOUSE! This is great for the performers, exhibitors, and AVN but definitely makes things a bit harder (no pun intended) to grab photos and videos.

Below: The insane amount of people by BRAZZERS!!

Below: The bar is definitely doing well on Friday!

Day 3 update (White Party): Ah, the infamous AVN White Party, where you can mingle with the best of the best. This year it’s hosted inside Skybox (2nd floor) at the Virgin Hotels. Doors opened at 10pm and we were camping out waiting to get in but boy was it worth the wait! See for yourself below



Above: Yes, Skybox was super crowded!! platinum_models_usa provided dancers for this event along with tons of industry folks and performers. Look for more coverage from the White Party soon!

Day 4 Update: Ahh.. here we are at the final day. After spending all night at the White Party, it was tough to get up and hit the show floor again on the final day. Saturday is always a slower day due to most performers partied all night so most will be no show or late, Vixens section was completely closed, hours are much shorter (from 11am-4pm), and some exhibitors started to pack up (early) We weren’t there for too long as we needed to scout the location to shoot AVN Awards Red Carpet.
Day 4 (Red Carpet): This year Virgin Hotels provided actual Red Carpet for the AVN Awards (vs last year at Resorts World there weren’t any!) The setup was a bit strange hopefully things are better next year. The only gripe I have is the staff tends to rush the performers along so they can’t really take photos. I get it though there’s just so many performers walking thru the red carpet. It would be great if they design it like the airport moving walkway (if you’re stopping for photos, keep to your right, the rest who doesn’t want photos can keep walking on the left) This way traffic doesn’t get jammed up and I know some performers rather get to the awards quicker (especially if they’re already running late)

Above: This is the roundabout where all the performers have to walk thru.
That’s about sums it up this year, looking forward to next year’s show. Check back here for photos and videos (there’s tons!) coming soon.
