Las Vegas isn’t called Sin City for no reason. Being in Las Vegas tends to relax those inhibitions, but some of that sin has been missing for the last two years during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This January 7th the AVN Awards returned from the virtual world to the regular in-person event (during CES) at the new Resorts World casino/hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. The awards took place during the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (January 4-7th) in Las Vegas and was attended by a who’s who of the adult industry.
