A newer Vegas tradition has become the mixture of adult film stars and Halloween costume contests for resort nightclub events. This year Jesse Jane, an adult performer who gets a lot of attention from mainstream media, is hosting a naughtiest costume party at Prive at Planet Hollywood.

 

(Also, Tao at the Venetian has Tera Patrick as host for its celebration.)

I have interviewed Jane a few times before, at the annual adult convention and film awards that takes place each January at the Venetian and Mandalay Bay. Jane is very friendly and has a bubbly persona that sticks with her in interviews. Most of her answers begin or end in giggles, sometimes both. It is often only when I type up my interviews that I notice how articulate she can be between giggles. In the interview bellow, for example, look at her answer about the connection between porn star hosts, Vegas and Halloween. It was delivered with so many laughs from Jane, I had not realized how insightful her comment was until I read it without the giggles. We talked about her hosting gig tomorrow and some of her other Vegas experiences.

Richard Abowitz: Have you hosted before at a Vegas nightclub?

Jesse Jane: Yes. It has been great. Everyone wants to come to a party in Vegas, and everyone wants to have a good time, and everyone wants to get crazy in Vegas. I threw a party at Cathouse [in the Luxor] a few months ago and we packed the place and everyone had a good time.

 

Q: What is your Halloween costume going to be?

 

A:  I am going to be a candy corn, a sexy candy corn.

 

Q: I did not know there were sexy candy corns.

 

A: Neither did I until I saw it. I have never seen anybody be a candy corn. But then I saw the costume. It has a little skirt with orange, yellow and white stripes. And, there is a sexy bikini top. It is really cute.

 

Q: What is it about Halloween that you think has Vegas nightclubs in recent years reaching out to porn stars to host?

 

A: Fantasy. Everyone wants to be in a fantasy. Fantasy is what Halloween is about and that is what adult stars are about. The truth is that we are what a lot of adults fantasize about. The thing about getting an adult star to host a Halloween party in Vegas is that the holiday and Vegas encourage people to let their inhibitions loose. So, when an adult star hosts a party in Vegas on Halloween it creates a chance for people to almost role play by dressing up in sexy costumes, and having fun in a totally comfortable way where no one will judge you. That is why I am there. Everyone wants to be sexy and have fun. And, especially in Vegas, a porn star helps make that environment feel like you are inside the fantasy.

 

Q: A decade ago hosting an event at a resort would be very unusual for someone in your line of work. I wonder if hosting at a nightclub in Vegas as a mainstream paying gig surprises you and how you enjoy it?

 

A: It is actually really cool that the doors have opened for us to do this. It is great exposure, and it is a good experience. I also have to tell you that it is very easy. They pay us to come and have fun. You show up, you talk on the microphone to the crowd. It is really refreshing, really relaxing and honestly just cool to be paid to hang out in Vegas.
