Actually, and I'm not defending AVN here, since I would love nothing more than to stay at Mandalay by myself as usual during the January show and NOT see any of you fuckers when I'm creeping home to bed in the middle of the night...
The reason for the show move is more about timing. Had the Internext show been at the Venetian, everyone with a booth would have been spending New Years Day setting up their booth to make the timing work with the Sands. Which in turn would have meant a lot of people spending New Years Eve staying at Motel 6 since there's no way in hell that the Venetian, or any other casino, would be giving out decent rates on rooms for that night. Those with good host hookups, sure, but most companies don't send in their CEOs to do booth setup, and I can't imagine how bad the uproar would have been if you told a large program owner he was going to have to fork out 500+ per night for employee rooms.
