ED Publications’ 25th Anniversary Gentlemen’s Club EXPO, heads back to Vegas this August 27-30, at the Hard Rock Casino

It’s where the first Gentlemen’s Club EXPO was held in 1993. It’s the city that the EXPO called home 20 times out of the past 24 years. With the EXPO celebrating its Silver Anniversary in 2017, it makes all the sense in the world to bring it back “home,” to Sin City, for the 25th Annual Gentlemen’s Club EXPO, August 27-30, 2017.

This time, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, with its brand new convention area, will play host to the multi-billion-dollar industry’s only national convention and awards show.

“While we received a lot of input over the past few years from people who wanted a break from having the EXPO in Las Vegas, the reaction to the EXPO returning to Vegas has already been overwhelmingly enthusiastic,” says ED Publications’ Associate Publisher Dave Manack (the EXPO moved to New Orleans in 2014 & ‘15). “And because it’s our 25th EXPO, you can bet we’re going to pull out all the stops and produce the biggest and best EXPO this industry has ever seen!”

ED Publications, which has produced the EXPO since the first show in ‘93 at the (now-defunct) Stardust Hotel & Casino, is also proud to note that next year’s EXPO will play host to the 20th Annual Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Show—aka, the ED’s Awards Show—the only national awards show for the top adult nightclubs and feature entertainers. This year’s show, scheduled for Tuesday, August 29th at The Joint Theater inside the Hard Rock, will feature Recycled Percussion as its main act. Called "flat out bad bass" by the Las Vegas Review Journal and featured on "The Today Show," Recycled Percussion has performed over 4,000 shows and over 400 corporate events in over 15 countries since their smash performance on "America's Got Talent" (2009 season). 

Exciting Hard Rock Hotel & Casino venues will play host to more EXPO 2017 events, including Vanity (which will host the Opening Night Party) and the world-famous Rehab Pool (which will host the "Chill Day" Pool Party & Bikini Contest). The 2017 Keynote Address will feature Las Vegas’ top-requested motivational speaker and author, Dan Lier, whose address will focus on the millennial and centennial generations of club staff, entertainers and guests.
