'The Showgirl Next Door: Holly Madison's Las Vegas' book review

Take a peep into the world of Holly Madison whose Las Vegas lifestyle is wild and riveting with adventure that dazzles her at every turn. The star of Peep Show is a Strip showstopper who has made the glitz and glam of Sin City her home. Madison brings a reader into her world and life after Playboy, Hugh Hefner, and Hollywood.

Madison may look like a showgirl’s showgirl now but her early days were in rural Alaska and later Oregon where she was anything but glamorous. Once she made her way to Los Angeles the aspiring actress quickly transformed into the Holly Madison we know today. This book does not delve much into her beginnings but it’s a perspective that makes her memoir all the more a testament to her metamorphosis.

The book is like Madison’s own personal tour of Las Vegas using her connections to enter a world that few can glimpse. She brings her accounts of exclusive suits at the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa at The Palms Resort and the Las Vegas Hilton. Madison had been a photo editor at Playboy so her visual sense is put to use in the many photographs in the book. Madison’s Las Vegas also includes the stranger aspects to Sin City with its bizarre attractions.

Ever the glamor girl, Madison shares her own beauty tips for surviving the Vegas heat and looking camera ready fresh. For fans of the reality show Holly this is a good book to read before the next season starts.
