I do think that there is a happy medium that can be reached for girls that people would like to bring to the hotel during the day for eye candy by the pool and in other places.

AVN had to do someting to get rid of the mooch factor for sure. Not to say that I personally didn't get business done with someone that was around based on Mooch factor at one point in time. But at the same time to get on the show floor and to the seminars there still needs to be a charge for the ability to attend these portions of the event. So I see no reason that the full badge shouldn't cover this event and then there be an alternative to this option for people who want to come hang out by the pool or in the lobby.

I think a good solution has been come up with for the evening guest passes but I think that something similar even a small charge during the day to be able to come and hang out by the pool, meet new people, and enjoy free drinks and a lunch. I mean is it really going to kill someone to pay $30 to $50 bucks to be able to hang out at the hotel all day and eat and drink for free?

Question to Aly would be what is considered evening? For the quest passes? Since the show floor closes at 3pm does that mean the guest passes are going to start being handed out at that time?

Also in the evening are there going to be wristbands or do I just show my room key to get back into the hotel. I am not sure about everyone else, but I usually do not wear my badge 24 hours a day. You may think about using a wristband system like an all inclusive resort does to save us having to have our badges on us at all times.

Please let us know the guest pass hours...
