The lights! The sounds! The boobs! The butts! The babes! The long lines of non-industry folk trying to get in despite the fact that today's launch of the 2007 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo was open to trade only! The boobs! The babes! OK, we're repeating ourselves—but we wanted to give you some idea of what this whole crazy scene is all about. Maybe we should just let our photos do the talking?

Check out our exclusive gallery of shots from the first day of this year's AVN Expo ... and keep refreshing that browser window, because we'll be posting new pictures all week as quickly as we can get to a reliable internet connection (no mean feat at the wirelessly-challenged Sands Expo Center, or at least that part of the media area where we're expected to work). We might not be able to get schwag bags and personally autographed 8x10 glossies of all your favorite stars for each and every one of you, but hopefully ace Gawker Media photographer Nikola Tamindzic's photos will be the next best thing to being here.
