Pleasure Island
Brisk business done during ANE 2016

the Paradise Tower of the Hard Rock Hotel
Once again, the AVN Novelty Expo took over
and Casino Las Vegas, offering an oasis for
pleasure product sellers and buyers. And right
from the start, one thing was clear. Though ANE was a
relatively quiet island in the sea of activity unfolding down
the hall in the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, this was
nonetheless a busy show floor.
Exhibitors were writing orders, and buyers were filling
the aisles throughout the day, even lingering after the
doors officially closed. Others happily chatted about
the contacts they’d made with the distributors at the
show, including Eldorado Trading Company, Nalpac and
Universal Distributors. In all, it was a feel-good show.
And those exhibitors writing orders and taking meetings
were repping a wide array of items to enhance and
intensify both sexual and sensual experiences.
Returning exhibitors included adult novelty distributors
Eldorado Trading Company and Nalpac.
Eldorado Trading once again had their knowledgeable
staff members on hand to show off some of the best brands
in the industry, including CalExotics, Jopen, Doc Johnson
and Topco, as well as boutique lines such as Malesation,
Svakom, Sensuelle, L’Amourose and Je Joue. This year,
Eldorado increased their participation in ANE by covering
the cost of badges for buyers who registered in advance for
the show. (For more information, visit Eldorado.net.)
After a successful show last year, Nalpac also returned
to ANE. In addition to talking with buyers and trade
attendees about the various product lines the company
carries from top manufacturers, staffers were also
celebrating the achievements of company founder Ralph
Caplan, who was chosen for induction into AVN Hall of
Fame - Pleasure Products Branch. (Go to Nalpac.com.)
