For those concerned about the prices, keep in mind that even the least expensive room at the Venetian will sleep 6 comfortably. Also, there is always the TI across the road which is about $75/night but you will add a few kilometers of walking to your day.

It seems like the problem with costs is the adult internet industry is made up of quite a few sole proprietors who don't have the money or can't justify spending the money to go to a show. In other industries the attendees have the show admission, hotel, airfare, and other expenses covered by their employer. I would imagine the same is true for the companies that go to Internext.

We've all been where we couldn't really afford it, however it has always been a priority for me. I attended my first show before I opened my first site. It was a great education. While I learn a little less at each subsequent show, the networking and relationship building becomes more important to one's ongoing success.

One word - Travelocity.com - or is that two words? I don't think .com can be considered a word so let's call it 1 word. Judging by the package rates I'm seeing there, I can afford to go as long as I'm not on the strip. Ofcourse, I still need to factor in the badge, hookers, food, hookers, miscellaneous shit, and hookers.

For me, it comes down to is a single question. Is it worth the expense? Everyone says to go for connections and networking, then they say that the show is becoming shit for business. I just want to meet some you silly bastards. It might be cheaper to just stalk you than to attend the show.
