The Vegas Diaries

After leaving the Playboy mansion and Hugh Hefner's harem of 'girlfriends', Holly Madison was determined to start over—on no one's terms but her own. Deciding to begin again in the glamorous city of Las Vegas, Holly quickly realized that while she may have left her past in the rearview mirror, the labels that came from it aren't so quick to leave her. Holly dives headfirst into a journey that includes Dancing with the Stars, the lead in the Strip's hottest burlesquespectacular, and a reality series spotlighting her new life as a single woman. Holly explores the decadent, world of Sin City and learning that each romantic "disaster" holds an important lesson about herself.
