G4 Goes To Vegas... And Meets A Whole Lot Of Pornstars

The Future Of Sex (Toys): The Real Touch Robopussy

At AEE last year, the sex toy to watch out for was the Sasi. We may not have found any toys that could compete with the current queen of vibes—but we did discover a robopussy. More »

Postcards From Vegas: Whatever Happened To Faye Valentine?

Months ago, we discovered a beautiful, adorably freckled pornstar named Faye Valentine—and we fell in love. Shortly after, we discovered another similarly freckled pornstar named Faye Reagan. Then we realized they were the same person. More »

Postcards From Vegas: One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other

Amidst the booths for porn companies, porn sites, and porn, porn, porn, there were a few exhibitors who, well, stood out a bit. Like Felicia, who was the only person at AEE selling hand-painted lightbulbs. More »

Whither Abby Winters?

Last year, the Abby Winters booth was the highlight of AVN—but this year, the Aussie amateurs were nowhere to be seen.... or so we thought. More »

Melrose Foxxx Is Trapped In The Pornitentiary

Postcards From Vegas: And They're Off!

AEE 2009 kicked off with Stormy Daniels cutting the ribbon at the door. Or would have, at least, if the scissors had worked. Instead, we got Stormy ripping the ribbon. As long as it's broken, right? More »

And if one scantily clad Sarah Palin lookalike isn't enough for you, here's your chance to meet many, many more: Las Vegas's Club Paradise is holding an "official" Sarah Palin lookalike pageant next week. And by "official" we mean not official or endorsed by Sarah Palin in any way. (vegasblog.latimes.com)

The media may continue to debate whether topless sunbathing is still in fashion or not, but given that some Las Vegas hotels are having no trouble finding customers willing to pay to watch topless strippers lounge by the pool it looks like there are some places where it will never go out of style. You just can't argue with that kind of economic evidence. (reuters.com)

Naked Girls And Gambling: Together At Last?

Nevada has long had the sense to keep naked girls and gambling far, far away from one another: after all, any fool knows that these two vices are like matter and antimatter, and that even the mere mention of gambling in the presence of exposed breasts might cause irreparable damage to the space-time continuum. But that good sense may have come to an end: we hear that the Nevada Gaming Control Board is actually taking a serious look at the Topless Girls of Glitter Gulch's request to install slot machines on the premises. May the lord have mercy on us all... (onlinecasinoadvisory.com, thumbnail star Angel Button via Ask Jolene)

A Las Vegas TV reporter was fired from his job because he and his girlfriend went on Craigslist looking for another dude to join them in the bedroom. Wait a second, it's Las Vegas—isn't that what you usually have to do to get the job? (lvrj.com; also seen @ soupcans.blogspot.com)

Maybe if we can tear ourselves away from the AVN Expo the next time we're in Vegas we'll check out the new Erotic Heritage Museum for ourselves—but for now we'll just have to trust the word of people who have actually been there. Although it's not hard to believe that a sex museum is somehow the classiest place in Las Vegas. (latimes.com + nerve.com)

Las Vegas Erotic Heritage Museum Loves A Good Opening

We're frantically shopping last-minute airfares to Las Vegas so we can take in the grand opening of Harry Mohney's Erotic Heritage Museum this weekend: it will open this Saturday for artists, city officials, and critics with the official opening for the general public on Sunday. According to the org's website, "The Museum seeks to bridge the gap between that which is commercial and often misidentified as pornographic, with that which is aesthetic, often identified as folk, pop, and fine art through a common visual language." To which we say, "You had us at gap." (eroticheritagemuseum.com; more @ AVN)

In a more perfect world—or at least one more populated by people who like to throw on a feather boa or cheesy fur-trimmed pimp hat and pretend they're a stripper and/or hustler—every weekend would feature a Strippers and Hustlers Ball somewhere. But for the time being we'll all just have to settle for the one being held in Las Vegas this coming Labor Day. Feather boas and cheesy fur-trimmed pimp hats optional, but highly encouraged.

Here's some fun trivia: The Palms Casino in Las Vegas does not allow underboob! (Seriously, it's written into their gaming license.) So why would they book a weekend of erotic burlesque dancing at their hotel? More importantly, why is Las Vegas still calling itself Sin City? (canada.com)

Oh Mary Carey, we had such high hopes for you when you did that whole "Celebrity Rehab" thing, and we were really looking forward to seeing the new sexy and sober you in action. But then someone sent us a link to these pics from your birthday bash in Vegas last weekend, and ... well, let's just say we sort of missed the old, messy, party animal Mary Carey too. Either way, those new boobs of yours look fabulous. Don't ever change, k? (vanityspy.com)

Backroads Of Vegas: Joe McGinniss Jr.'s "The Delivery Man"

Like pre-Katrina New Orleans, modern Las Vegas has built its appeal on shaky foundations. In Joe McGinniss Jr.'s book "The Delivery Man," young Vegas natives pin their hopes on self-delusion but make their money on the vices of others. The title character is an always-aspiring artist in love with the prostitute he shuttles to the propped up desert mansions and hotel suites of her clients, and the book is filled with foreboding in the shadow of the casino lights. Published this past January and an excellent read for the Vegas tourist curious about the humanity behind the guilty pleasures, "The Delivery Man" is McGinniss' first book. More »

Anyone who has ever been to a convention or trade show knows about the omnipresent lanyards worn around the neck to display your super cool admission pass, but apparently some groups have to make due with trinkets left over from previous conventions. Like the Clark County Republicans walking around Las Vegas sporting Elegant Angel swag left behind after the AVN Expo. So that explains why Flower Tucci was just elected Clark County Treasurer!

Not being particular fans of the whole "send an annoying, unattractive guy to the Adult Entertainment Expo to make lame jokes at the expense of porn stars" school of comedy, we can't say we find this video particularly funny. Trust us, the Expo can be unfunny enough as it is. (comedy.com)

Our little sister Jezebel wants to know—and so do we frankly—if Las Vegas author Charles Bock is sincere in his claim to know a stripper who "has her nipples surgically hollowed out so she can fill them with wax and light them like candles" ... and that this tactic is "not infrequent." We've never heard nor seen such a thing, and we're not even sure if it's possible, but we figure one of our readers must know. More importantly, are the candles vegan?

Porn Vegas Dispatch: Our Car Is Warm & Dry, Tera Patrick

We so like the idea of Tera Patrick as Honorary Mayoress of Las Vegas because she does things like hosts Super Bowl parties in a schoolgirl outfit. Patrick will be on hand at Sin City's sweatiest club, Body English at the Hard Rock, to celebrate the Patriots' victory this Sunday. Joining Patrick will be L.A. band Velvet Revolver. "No matter who wins the big game, we are going to have a blast," said a politic Patrick. Despite what the song says, please stand so close to us, Tera. More »

It's nice to see Jenna Jameson having some fun in Vegas after her last visit there, which didn't seem like it was very much fun for her at all ... even if we think she should be eating a little more cake these days instead of just jumping out of one. Maybe next trip? (tmz.com)

Jesse Jane: And A Blonde Shall Lead Us

After being told that we would receive an audience with none other than the great Miss Jesse Jane at the AVn Expo last week, we confessed that we were a little intimidated by the thought of meeting her for the first time. But others who had gone before us reassured us with tales of her welcoming Texas charm, which thankfully turned out to be true: she immediately put us at ease with a friendly smile, and then offered us plenty of advice on surviving Las Vegas. It might be too late for any other aspiring expo newbies to put her words of wisdom to good use, but you might want to bookmark this clip in case you're thinking about making the pilgrimage to the Sands Expo Center next year. For there will always be a next year. More »
