Pornography will always be big business, and each year in Las Vegas, the industry’s biggest players, and fans, gather for the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo.

The event’s organisers claim that around 30 000 people attend, roughly half of whom are fans keen to snap a picture with their favourite performers.

That guy above seems to be enjoying himself.

VICE sent somebody to cover this year’s event, which took place last week at the rather apt Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and the photos pretty much speak for themselves.

We’ll keep it relatively classy and show you the (mostly) suitable for work stuff:

Hey, there’s our guy again, clearly having a blast…

Only in Las Vegas, right?

Those images above are largely PC, but a quick Google search turned up some that are a little more risque. You can see some of those here, but you might want to check who’s standing behind you, first.

A little observation from the reporter before we say goodbye:

By my unscientific count, around 80 percent of the people in attendance were middle-aged men who looked like a computer model based on the average of every single one of my friends’ dads. Ten percent were younger guys, all of whom had an extreme Jean-Ralphio energy. The remaining 10 percent fell on the spectrum somewhere between those two points. (I also saw three women that I think might have been there as fans.)

…all of the people I spoke to at AVN made references to specific cam girls and porn production companies as if these were the most natural and widely known topics of conversation in the world.

“It’s fairly cheap, a lot of the models are nice, you get to know them,” said Nick Koontz, who told me he was mostly known as KingNut345, his username on MyFreeCams. “It’s more of a community than it is a random website.”

KingNut345 has spoken.
