After Vegas, your feelings ?
 

Hi Guys,

First of all, thank you very much for the Internext organization team and AVN for such a great event, can't wait for next year.

Just a little topic to check what did you enjoy the most during the shows ( yes the party and the girls but apart from that ), I really enjoyed the sessions regarding A/B testing .

What about you guys ?

Winnie ;)

Vegas is a shithole. I'd better move Internext to New Orleans...

I don't know about Vegas but the events (GFY and AVN) were ... a lot!

It's the first time I attend and they were quite overwhelming. I need sleep now :)))

Lets go vegas.:)

New Orleans doesnt have CES and the SHOT show running at the same time as Internext & AVN.

That is definitely a HUGE selling point to Vegas show. Especially for those of us in mainstream and adult.

:pimp

There is no bigger shit hole than New Orleans.

It starts the moment you land at their shitty airport and it never gets better.

CES wasnt on at the same time this year, just the shot show :winkwink:

and the construction show.

We didn't really go into my topic, but fair enough :)

Vegas rock

Still hate Vegas but the show itself was well put together

Vegas is always fun and show was amazing !

I thought the bitches lounge was really awesome and I wish it had been on the first day so you can network more with the people you meet in there later on.

The football suite party was cool for lounging on an afternoon.

I liked how most things were on site and didn't involve going too far. Being only 5 minutes from ASW at the Paris was a big bonus.

Why hate Vegas?

It's a fun town to visit once a year. Good food, entertainment, a little bit of gambling maybe. What's to hate Roald? Hater! :winkwink:

I did had a lot of fun indeed but that's due to the show, not due to Vegas ;)

I've never been to New Orleans airport (haven't even know they have any), but their old French quarter is the most coolest place in the USA I've been so far. It's like you are in Europe. I love Bourbon Street :pimp

So I'm not alone in this thread :)

P.S. One of my best friends is a poker player. He makes about $500 on poker tournaments in Vegas (not too much but he's always in plus) every time he visits it and he also pulls me there. I'm not a player. Oh, ok I can do $1000 on roulette from a single $25 chip but only in Russia where is only one zero. In Vegas it doesn't work because every roulette there have two (fuckun' 2) zeros. I can't believe till I saw them with my own eyes. WTF???

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The funny part there is... ???

Probably that Bourbon street is somewhat of a cesspool? :1orglaugh

If you want to experience a European feeling in North America, I suggest a trip to Quebec City. Clean, beautiful, historic.

I've never been to Canada, but I really love New Orleans with all its live Jazz music, buze on the streets in from of the policemen etc.

@WilliamHubpeople : nice avatar...

I thought I saw you at the Meet Market! I wasnt sure so I kept moving on.

If I had known I would could have said: Hey remember me? I made that trailer for you so many years ago. Now I'm all grown up :)

i think i worked harder this Internext than any other. i also did ASW all day Sunday and that show was amazing too. things i will remember not to do next year:

drive to Vegas
speak on panel on the last day
go the hardest the night before i speak on panel
jager shots with HubPerson Michael at 3am in Lucky's
demand security escort from the club to the taxi line
over schedule meetings so i'm locked away
eat disco fries in the middle of the night

Hey William - this is Owen from Vendo. Nice meeting you and Michael, and thanks for the shout about our panel and workshops :). You were at both workshops! We did cover different topics with different participants at each -- did you find them both to be helpful?

hahah I thought I saw you but I wasn't sure! Next time we really must say hello :) That's still my best trailer ever, btw.

Boris, baddog would love to drop your ass off on the "other side" of Mississippi river :1orglaugh

I always enjoy the shows, I make the best of every single one. nuf said.

Bourbon street is fucking disgusting, but once you get off there its pretty nice though it still kind of smells like shit.


There are also no open container laws on the strip in vegas. So you can still get drunk in public. Just less police cause I reckon bourbon street is a tad more dangerous from what I remember walking around at 3am

It was my first show working for AVN covering Internext , GFY Awards and All of AVN. Everyone was great to me and looking foward to going back to shooting full time.

i wasnt able to attend

InterNext and AEE were productive shows. There's definitely business to be done if you network with the right people.

The stench of cigarette smoke everywhere including the hotel rooms was the worst part of Las Vegas.

For me both Internext and ASW were productive shows! Great people and networking as usual. Smoke and no fresh air in Vegas is always a pain but we will be back for more next year inspite of that fact ;)
Hope everybody have recovered.
WilliamHubpeople, you want black or orange tie from Trafficshop? :)

Thank you, trying to be different, and I love winnie ;)

Orange please love :)

Deal ;) will bring it over to the next show

Next show meaning barcelona love ?

Nice one Julie :)

The problem for me isnt so much Vegas, as it can have fun there for 2-3 days max. The problem is that the Hard Rock is a shit hole filled with a terrible ventilation system and white trash running around. Everything about the hotel is just dirty. I was only at the show two nights and that was plenty. I dont know how some of you stayed there for a week.

As much of a pain in the ass it is to stay at another hotel like the Wynn, Cosmo or Venetian, I will probably do that next year. The Hard Rock is really that bad.

I think we should all just pitch in and buy an island for the next one. Vegas is so dirty.

Yes, Venetian is pretty cool (like a hotel) with all those Italian-style "rivers" and gondolla's. But visitors are the same as anywhere in Vegas :2 cents: I really don't understand why americans are so excited about that city. It's just a shithole. Ok, a shining one (ok, not a whole city but only Strip).

Surprisingly, this may have been the most business-successful show I've ever attended. Only two meetings no-showed (amazing for LV) and almost everyone I met with, was looking for results rather than just the typical blah blah. I can't believe that internext kept me so busy... only had two hours at ASW, but still managed to get everything done!

Also got to meet quite a few new people which is always exciting. The circle bar is hands down one of the best meeting points at any show. EVERYONE ends up there at one point or another.

2015 is off to a great start, let's hope this trend of awesome shows continues with Barcelona and Phoenix!

+1 defo agree with you Nicholas, at least circle bar, you know you can close your deal or meet the people you have missed during the day

Actually the strip is one of the "nice" places in Vegas. If you go a few blocks off the strip it looks like bad parts of Mexico mixed with scenes from "The Walking Dead." 70 pound methed out men begging for change in 115 degree heat. Hell on earth.

There is obvious a wide range of experiences depending on where you stay. For example, it could easily argued that Vegas has the best food in the world. However, there is a huge different between the Wynn/Bellagio/Venetian experience and the Hard Rock/Circus Circus one.

True fucking dat!
:thumbsup

I don't know.. that morning egg mc'biscuit thing I got from Nathan's Famous Hotdogs under Bally's was pretty tasty! (blech)

Yes, how can we miss sunny Sitges :)

Well, we won't :)
