This year the porn stars get their own weekend to rule the Strip, as the Consumer Electronics Show has already come and gone. Not that the tech geeks were much of a match for the adult entertainment industry’s biggest convention. Check out the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo by day and party like the porn stars by night… or at least with the porn stars. After signing autographs and posing for pictures with their fans at the convention, a bevy of stars will head to various nightclubs for more fun and fan interaction.
