A couple of things on this:

I am staying until the 10th, going to do the AVN show as well. While it is a little too fan oriented (especially later in the day), it is a good way to see what it is that the drooling masses are interested in. You can see what the video industry is suggesting might be new, and what it is they are promoting the most. It is a good way to get the temperature of the industry. Depending on your flight, you might want to stay for the day of the 8th to do the show, and then fly out that night. Figure about 2 - 3 hours to do the AVN show reasonably.

On the last day of the show people tend to be moving VERY slowly and are not much for doing anything big, but the players ball runs on the 7th, so some people might be staying around for that. The last day can be good for getting people to finally settle down and make some deals and stuff.

There is almost as much going on the 4th, so make sure you get in at a reasonable time to get the show on the road (I am in noon on Sunday, which gives me enough time to get in, get registered, etc. The round bar in the middle of the Venetian Casino floor is a typical meeting place at this event. :-)

For those who wonder, I am staying at Treasure Island, got a decent package through Northwest Airlines for flight, hotel and car. That really improves things a bunch. ;-)
