Book Description

May 15, 2011
Holly Madison takes readers on a tour through the glitz and glitter of Las Vegas from the unique perspective of a Strip headliner.

Madison has unprecedented access to high-roller areas and mansion-in-the-sky suites that are closed to all but a privileged few. In a chapter illustrated by dozens of photos, she leads a virtual tour through the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa at the Palms, the Verona Suite (former home of Elvis Presley) at the Las Vegas Hilton and many more.

She also takes a look at the wacky attractions on the road from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, the peripatetic history of this former desert outpost, the evolution of the Vegas showgirl, the restaurants and clubs that pack the city and all of the activities and attractions that make the city so much fun. Holly provides behind-the-scenes looks at Peepshow and her TV reality show, Holly's World, and provides tips on looking fabulous in the desert, from what to pack to how to keep makeup from melting away in the extreme summer heat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun book from Holly Madison! May 26, 2011
By Andrea
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a really nice surprise. While I certainly could be wrong, I got the feeling that Holly actually wrote this book herself (or a great deal of it by herself) And that's a good thing! It reads just like you are listening to Holly tell you all about her life in Vegas, her favorite places to go, places to eat (from expensive to reasonably priced), and great places to shop. I would love to spend a few hours shopping and hanging out with Holly (even though I'm old enough be her mother)!

Holly put a lot of work into research for this book. I was not at all aware of the history of Vegas and learned a lot. Holly takes you on a roadtrip from LA to Vegas, giving you a lot of history along the way. Throughout the book, she contiues to provide the reader with the history of Vegas, complete with photos from different eras.

There are so many beautiful photos of Holly throughout the book as one would expect. I personally would have liked a little more reading and less photos, but my husband has no objections.

If you are buying this book for inside scoop on Holly's World and/or Peepshow, save your money. There is very little about either. Some photos from each but not much else. And really that's okay because afterall this is 'Holly Madison's Las Vegas'. Quite honestly it's refreshing to purchase a book from one of the former Girls Next Door that is NOT all about their past life at the mansion. Holly has clearly started over, built a whole new life for herself and moved on. I admire her for this.

Holly gives us a small peek into high roller suites that the average person can't get into. Fun and beautiful photos!

If you are planning a trip to Vegas, I wouldn't recommend this as your only guide, but Holly certainly offers some good suggestions that are worth jotting down before you go.

Holly Madison has done a very nice job creating a fun book that her fans will enjoy. Thanks Holly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super fun book on Vegas! July 11, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I totally adore Holly! I was so excited when I saw that this book was coming out that I immediately pre-ordered it! Holly discusses fun restaurants, how NOT to dress in Vegas, and things that make Vegas better than anywhere else. The photos are really great too! I recommend this book 100%!
