COVER STORY
At the Hard Rock Casino Las Vegas the slots are hot-and so are the girls. "It's wild here," says cocktail waitress Brandi Bagley. Brandi gives us an intimate tour inside-a show you won't see in Vegas. For our cover, Arny Freytag shot January 2001 Playmate Irina Voronina while our Rabbit played a rock anthem.
