The AVN Awards in Vegas....

They're coming up in mid January and I've never been and was looking for any tips, advice, and to hear about some experiences some of you have had.

I'm considering going with a friend or two but I haven't a clue what to really expect.

Thanks to those who have good insight and advice.

Just go with the flow, try not to look too much like a lost tourist.

The awards show itself of boring as fuck....the best place to just hang out is at the 2 casino bars, affectionately called the "Circle Bars" That is where you can strike up conversations, etc....buy a couple drinks and dont act aggressive and you will see most of the industry people are pretty cool. I have been a few times, and know several of them....then again, I have done work in the industry, so that helps. lol

Cheers

The truth is you want to see you favorite star; check her schedule to see if she is even going to be around. Most Events are going to the after party and pre party events. Don't be shy and don't worry about all the dudes the girls hang with. Be nice and polite, several are very good business folk and they like to meet their fans. The award shows will depending on the MC to set the tone. It hit or miss if you will have a good time at the award show itself.

-have fun

I agree with what the others have shared. During my first event, I was nervous and intimidated to be around porn stars and the business surrounding it. But most everyone was so friendly and down to earth, I had a blast! The best part is we are all there for a reason and we don't have to worry about anyone passing judgment on us for attending. I felt very liberated and comfortable!

That said, enjoy your time here in Vegas with the AVNs and all of the other wonderful attractions!

Cheers!

My friend who's a high end DOph couldn't make it this week.
Is there a strong chance some starlets will be in and around the strip the following week? Say the 22nd/23rd?

My DVD " The Tranny Chaser " Was nominated <3 i wanna go

I think making a trip to Vegas combining a buddies Golf trip and the AVN"s , would be a lifetime event. I think the four of us all have at least one or two favorite porn starlets we love to have our pictures taken with. Oh yeah, we'd like to golf too!

Missed them...wished I could have made it!

Here's my advice, I've been twice to the AVN's (not into the boring pseudo Oscar awards where they give awards for best double anal scene! No kidding) when I lived in Las Vegas, but was at the hotel where they had the events with the red carpet and went to several events at clubs where PS/celebs were at for businesses I owned.

Vince Neil from Motley Crue was in such a drug/booze coma he was leaning on me so hard at one bar that I had to help him not fall over along with his x-porn girlfriend and his security guy.

Met a lot of well know pornstars like Sunrise Adams, Jenna Jameson, Brittany Andrews and talked with them in a real everyday settings at the night clubs like how you would talk to any woman you met at a local bar and learned a lot about that business and how it's marketed.

Literally you will NEVER EVER in your whole life combined see this many drop dead gorgeous slutted out to the 9's woman in one place over a week or weekend long time. It's basically porn disneyland that week. I've been on Spring Break four times in 3 different countries and those trips were like going to church camp when you were a kid compared to this. Bring alot of bibs to wear because your drool will be uncontrollable I promise! LOL!

Bad news guys, most girls in that industry almost exclusively only date or hookup (not for money) guys that are in the adult business in some shape or form (porn actors, x-porn actors, porn producers, writers, directors, etc.) and they of course also date the occasional rich and famous celebrity guys. I'm looking at you Charlie Sheen the poster boy for working girls.

The porn world is a lot like full time surfers, a very close knit and a guarded group much like the girls on ECCIE it seems. They're not like nympho's and will have sex with any random guy they meet, the completely opposite actually.

Most of them don't like working in that field (like most people who have everyday jobs don't like their jobs) and a landmark study on porn shows the average girl only does porn for 4 years or less.

This is a great read for providers and hobbyists about the porn business, a lot of things you would never guess about the porn world.

Plus, ALL the ones I met were also hardcore drug users so not attractive at all to me I'm sad to say.

It's definitely one of the busiest and craziest weekends every year because the biggest electronics show in the world (International Consumer Electronics Show) is also that same weekend in Las Vegas.

If you plan on going plan months ahead to book a hotel and then get VIP passes (don't be cheap) to the porn expo (www.adultentertainmentexpo.com) and everywhere you will go (night clubs, strip clubs, private events, etc.).

If you're going to go to and experience a once in a lifetime event like this or any big event for that matter, then by all means go first class gentleman and ladies.

Two cents.
