The adult industry's biggest event turns 31 years old next year as it returns to The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas on January 18, 2014.

The site features a comprehensive list of past award winners, a timeline marking the various changes that have occurred over the AVN Awards show’s three-decade-long history, a plethora of photos from the event, exclusive behind-the-scenes videos, information about the star-studded parties leading up to the awards, and of course, ticket information.

The site also features information on the 2014 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE), the precursor to the AVN Awards show, now in its 16th year, which takes place Jan. 15-18, 2014 at the Hard Rock.

AEE is part of a weeklong series of events sponsored by AVN Media Network at the Hard Rock, beginning with Internext and the AVN Novelty Expo and culminating with the 31st anniversary AVN Awards.

Dubbed "the Oscars of adult" by Entertainment Weekly, the AVN Awards is a must-attend, must-see event featuring the hottest stars from adult and mainstream pop culture. With a stylish red carpet pre-show and lavish star-studded ceremony, the AVN Awards celebrates outstanding achievements in the world of adult entertainment.
