The XBiz one in July is well worth it. I think it's $150 for your badge, which gets you into all the seminars (2 days worth), free drinks for 2 hours each night at the casino bar, lunch for 2 days & breakfast the morning the event ends.
The Hard Rock is reasonable - around $100-130/night (but like T Pat said, you can find cheaper places & spend $20/day on cabs)
Assuming it's just you for 3 days, you're looking at $550 + airfare ($200?) and then money for 2 meals a day (your 3rd is comps from XBiz), drinks & gambling.
(the gambling one always seems to throw my budget way out of whack 
)
For AVN, I'd guess $300 for the badge, $200-250/night for the room at the Palms, money for 3 meals a day.....you're already about $500 over XBiz.
