By day, the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo had the same schedule of every other convention in town. By night, though, its exhibitors and delegates rocked like no other meeting group anywhere on Earth! For four days, it was a nonstop party of porn, and the nighttime revelry in this festival of flesh goes into the record books for sexiness, stamina and sass.

The annual adult industry convention just wrapped its four days of unveiling new products, showcasing new videos and debuting new porn stars. The convention portion of the invasion aptly titled “Sin City” was held at the Sands Expo Center in The Venetian, and the 2010 AVN Awards, with its 120 winners and three-hour show, was held for the first time in its 27-year history at The Pearl in the Palms.

We’ve worked nonstop here at Vegas DeLuxe to provide full photo coverage today and tomorrow of the convention, red carpet awards show and daring parties that went from dusk to dawn.

Adult film star Sasha Grey, who won Crossover Star of the Year for her simultaneous mainstream and XXX-rated work, hosted AVN’s Networking Party at Tao in The Venetian. Upon arrival, she signed autographs before enjoying dinner and was joined by industry gal pals on the red carpet before going to her VIP table overlooking the nightclub. Sasha got on the mic and welcomed the crowd, which included adult film stars Evan Stone and awards hostess Kayden Kross. Retired Houston Rockets player Dikembe Mutombo and St. Louis Rams’ Steven Jackson were among the crowd.

Kayden returned the next night to host the Adam & Eve celebration for The 8th Day, the biggest adult film of the year. She began her night with dinner at Tao under the watchful eye of the Buddha statue with 10 friends, including porn princess Stormy Daniels. Afterward up in the nightclub, Kayden danced on the catwalk, took photos with fans and hopped into the DJ booth with DJ Reach to get on the microphone and thank everybody.

Stormy returned the third night to host her own after-awards party. She walked yet another red carpet and had a ceiling-high perch overlooking the club while enjoying her Veuve Clicquot. Sasha stopped by to cap off her Las Vegas weekend with Patron Margaritas. She jumped into the DJ booth and spun with DJ Vice before dancing to his 1980s set.

Next door at Lavo in the Palazzo, adult industry stars Lexi Love, Angelina Armani, Alexis Ford and Mariah Milano clung together for the Adam & Eve after-party.

The seemingly never-ending AVN parties continued over at the Palms when George Maloof’s The Playboy Club hosted the Playboy Radio party featuring Christy Canyon, Nicky Hunter, Taylor Wayne, Ann Marie Rios and Kylie Ireland. Producer and entrepreneur Jimmy Iovine watched the fun from a VIP table with eight friends. At Moon, Wicked girls Kirsten Price, Alektra Blue, Jessica Drake, Mikayla Mendez, Stormy Daniels and Kaylani Lei hosted the Wicked Pictures calendar launch party.

The Vivid party was held at Tabu Ultra Lounge in MGM Grand with talented temptresses Sunny Leone, Savanna Samson, A.J. Bailey and Lia, who turned heads when they arrived at the hotspot. The girls partied into the early hours.

Busty blonde bombshell and California gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey was the guest of honor last night at McFadden’s in The Rio. The Celebrity Rehab standout played emcee for the Do It Like a Porn Star Contest. Mary sipped champagne and posed for photos with fans.

Iron Chef Kerry Simon’s Sunday pajama brunch at Simon in Palms Place proved to be the favorite for “recovering” adult screen stars yesterday. I spotted legendary Tera Patrick and Taylor Wayne at one table and another group of Silicon Valley stacked cleavage on display in the bar lounge watching football and nursing Bloody Marys before a late brunch. Taylor turned up later at Aquaknox in The Venetian dining in the wine cellar in a deliciously dangerous dress that KO’d her fans.

Today, the glamour girls packed away their super-high heels, plunging neckline tops and shorter-than-short cocktail dresses and returned to the San Fernando Valley. Believe it or not, filming cranks up again tomorrow -- in fact, one industry legend shot racy photos for a sex video here in Las Vegas today.

The AVN parties are over for 12 months, and now it’s back to work -- even for porn princesses!
