Postcards From Las Vegas: Saying Goodbye To All That

As Saturday afternoon fades into Saturday night pre-Awards show madness, the AVN Expo takes on a certain lugubrious quality. Booths are starting to come down, pornstars and fans (and press) are worn down, and things are winding down for our 2008 coverage. Don't be too sad—there's still lots more to come, both from the Awards show itself and our grab bag of leftover goodies, but for now we'll leave you with these parting shots from the convention hall. We've lost some of our good health, probably a bit of our sanity, and all sense of time and space (it is still January, right?) from spending the last four days in this climate-controlled fleshy wonderland ... but we wouldn't have passed up this weekend for all the melon spray in the world. We hope the big winner was you.
