The 13th Annual Gentlemen's Club Owners Expo - the largest gathering of the year of adult nightclub owners and entertainers - will be held one week earlier this year on August 23-25, 2005 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The theme of Expo 2005 is 'Increasing Profits at Adult Nightclubs.'
