2013 ED's Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Pre-Nominations - 

Your chance to help decide who makes the Final ED's Awards Ballot!

It’s been dubbed as the “Oscars” of the adult nightclub industry, the crowning event of the Annual Gentlemen’s Club Owners EXPO and an evening worthy of celebration. The Annual Adult Nightclub & Exotic Dancer Awards Show—known more frequently as the ED’s Awards—will return for its 16th straight year at the 2013 EXPO at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on August 21. This year, the House of Blues, located directly inside Mandalay Bay and boasting a national reputation as one of the nation’s best live music venues, will play host to the show.

But before we present those awards, we need to decide who wins. And before we decide who wins, we need to decide which adult nightclubs, feature entertainers and club staff will make the Final ED Awards Ballot. And that's where YOU can help us!  

For each category, those who sign in may nominate up to 10 candidates that they feel deserve to be included on the ED's Final Awards Ballot. Let everyone know WHY you're nominating them and why they deserve to make the Final Ballot! 

The 16th Annual ED’s Awards Show, presented by Anheuser-Busch, will honor the best-of-the-best in adult nightclubs, club staff and feature entertainment. The show will be hosted by hot up-and-coming comedian Adam Hunter, will feature special guest presenters, a brand new all-female “house” rock band Brazen and command performances by the nominees for ED’s Overall Entertainer of the Year Award. 

Please note! Awards Show tickets are NOT included with your EXPO registration. Because the House of Blues can only be seated for 650 guests, tickets must be purchased ahead of time before they sell out! 

Ticketing: For the first time ever, VIP seating is available for the ED’s Awards Show. The upstairs portion of the House of Blues will feature theater seating ($69 tickets, if purchased before June 15). The bottom floor will offer two tiers of VIP tables that are just a few feet away from stage at a cost of $1,500 per table (seating 10 guests) and $1,250 (seating eight guests). To secure your seat today, please call the ED office today at (727) 726-3592.
