I am going to be in Vegas during the last weekend of January attending the AVNs.  Does anyone have any advice on what to do/what to avoid?  I would appreciate any heads up on what is a good thing to attend versus what is most definitely a rip off.  I see a lot of options and I figured I would ask to find out what is what to make sure I don't burn a lot of money for no reason.

BRING MONEY, and be prepared to be underwhelmed.

Don't think you are gonna get some top star to squeeze you into her day. From what I have heard over the year, most the girls are booked to the hilt with commitments, and are exhausted. Maybe for big $$ you can get something cool. But you are likely better off just taking a trip to LA and giving TLC a call, or hooking up with someone highly rated independently.

You haven't written reviews so you'll need to get references before your trip. It'll make it easier to set up dates. And whatever you do don't get tempted by the CGs walking the casino floors. Read the newbie board for help.  Check the M&G board for info on The Vegas AVN M&G. The M&G hosts will screen you. There's an agency in Vegas LV 100 Prolf that maybe able to assist you, but they will screen you.

Save your money....used to be good 10 years ago.  Waste of time today.  Call TLC or some reputable agency if you want to meet stars.

It's been a few years since i've been & sounds like things might have changed now that it's at the Hardrock ,but i loved seeing the girls during AVN week  because they where all glammed up with hair & makeup & look just like they do in the movies,which is not always the case when you see them outside of the show.I saw some big name stars but of course i was already a client of some of the big agencies so it was easy.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.  I have seen a few providers, but I really should add a few reviews on the board here.

I never knew there was a meat market behind the scenes at those things.  
Damn I broke into the hobby wayyy too late!
