Ever wonder what happens when the adult industry’s biggest names descend on Tampa for a weekend of pure, unfiltered revelry? The 33rd NightMoves Awards are about to light up the Sunshine State, and trust me, this isn’t your average awards show. From October 9-12, 2025, Tampa Bay will be the epicenter of adult entertainment, with a lineup that’ll make your head spin and a fan-driven voting system that puts you in the driver’s seat.
NightMoves Awards: The Adult Industry’s Wildest Weekend
Kicking off its 33rd year, the NightMoves Awards isn’t just another trophy fest—it’s the longest-running live adult awards show in the U.S., a title it’s held since 1993. What makes it stand out? Fans like you decide the winners, a tradition NightMoves pioneered long before online voting was cool. This year, the stakes are higher, the stars are hotter, and the parties? Let’s just say Tampa’s strip clubs are about to get a serious workout.
Who’s Heating Up the Stage?
The lineup reads like a who’s-who of adult film royalty. Lauren Phillips, the fiery redhead with a knack for stealing scenes, is your emcee, bringing her signature charm to the mic. Joining her are heavy hitters like Eva Angelina, whose comeback has everyone buzzing, and Jessica Ryan, a fan favorite known for her intense performances. Don’t sleep on Jillian Janson or Natasha Starr either—they’re bringing their A-game. Newcomers like Angelica Amore and Sasha Pearl are set to turn heads, while industry vets like Miles Long and Conor Coxxx keep the vibe electric.
“We have an amazing star-studded group scheduled for the 33rd annual awards show weekend!”
– Paul Allen, NightMoves owner
And that’s just the start. The $5,000 Showgirl Invitational is stacking the deck with feature dancers like Hayla Faye, Nia Nebula, and the intriguingly named Vampiress. Expect jaw-dropping performances that’ll make you forget how to blink.
Tampa’s Clubs: Where the Party Never Stops
The NightMoves weekend isn’t confined to one stage—it’s a citywide takeover. Things kick off Wednesday, October 8th, at Silks Adult Entertainment with a “Kick Off” party that sets the tone. Thursday night, the Star Caravans hit The Red Room in New Port Richey and the legendary Mons Venus in Tampa—yeah, that Mons Venus, where the energy’s always dialed to eleven. Friday, the stars invade 4-Play Gentlemen’s Club in St. Petersburg and Bare Assets in Holiday. Saturday’s a doubleheader: a “Day At The Beach Party” followed by more Star Caravans at 2001 Odyssey and Silks again. The grand finale? Sunday’s awards show at Tampa Emperors Gentlemen’s Club, where the winners are crowned and the afterparty goes till dawn.

Why Fan Voting Changes Everything
Here’s where NightMoves flips the script: you, the fan, hold the power. Voting runs from July 15 to September 15, 2025, at NightMoves.xxx. Pick your favorites across national categories like best performer, director, or film, or go local and vote for Tampa’s top clubs, dancers, or even DJs. One catch: you need to vote in at least six categories for your ballot to count, and it’s one vote per IP address. This fan-driven model, started by NightMoves, is why it’s still the gold standard in adult awards.
Oh, and don’t forget the Editor’s Choice awards—a nod to industry insiders who’ve been killing it behind the scenes. Eligibility? Films and individual awards cover June 1, 2024, to June 1, 2025, except for “New Starlet,” which spans June 1, 2023, to June 1, 2025. So, yeah, your vote matters.
Sponsors and Legacy: The NightMoves Machine
The NightMoves Awards don’t run on vibes alone. Big-name sponsors like Adam & Eve, Loyal Fans, and Wifey.com keep the wheels turning, alongside industry staples like The Lee Network and Star Factory PR. NightMoves Magazine, born in 1988, laid the groundwork for this juggernaut, and since 1993, it’s been the adult industry’s must-attend event. Paul and Tracy Allen, the masterminds behind it, know how to throw a party that’s equal parts class and chaos.
