The world’s only Playboy Club hosted a unique celebration for Playboy Club’s 50th anniversary and featured celebrity Playboy Bunny dealer and star of PEEPSHOW, Holly Madison Thursday night (6.10.10). Other celebrity guests included headlining comedians Carrot Top and George Wallace. Madison had the crowd going wild and looked stunning in her specially made Bunny outfit, which was embroidered with Swarovski crystals by Madison’s assistant and friend, Angel Porrino. She dealt blackjack to Wallace as well as several others who couldn’t pass up the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The money earned from her dealing blackjack raised $1,500, all of which was donated to the non-profit community organization, Three Square.
Earlier, women lined up to register for their chance to become Playboy Club’s Miss 50, a female to proudly represent the momentous occasion. Carrot Top, Wallace and 9 Group’s special guest Ryan Bonnell chose the five finalists. Bonnell, 25 years old, is a terminally-ill cancer patient from Puyallup, Wash. One of his wishes was to come to Las Vegas and party at Palms Casino Resort, and with 9 Group’s help, Bonnell’s wish was granted.
At 1 a.m. Madison announced and crowned 25-year-old local resident Mila Corsunova. Carrot Top presented Corsunova with a bouquet of flowers. As the lucky winner, Corsunova will receive luxurious gifts and pampering, including: $1,000 in cash, complimentary night’s stay at Palms Casino Resort, a Swedish massage at Drift Spa at Palms Place, dinner for two at Nove Italiano, complimentary bottle and table at Playboy Club and a photo shoot – the same prizes presented to the monthly winners of the Miss Playboy Club model search.
Carrot Top and George Wallace were also presented with the prestigious Playboy Club key. They enjoyed the scene from their VIP table, where singing sensation of PEEPSHOW, Josh Strickland also hung out. Fifty select nightlife venues in domestic and international cities also celebrated the milestone event including Miami, Cancun, London, Hong Kong, San Diego, Chicago and Johannesburg.
Earlier that night, mixed martial artist, Frank Trigg dined at Nove Italiano. He arrived around 8 p.m. with a party of five. The highlight of the meal was when Executive Chef Geno Bernardo complemented the dinner with an assortment of desserts. Also dining was Phil Ivey, professional poker player who has won seven World Series of Poker bracelets and one World Poker Tour title. Ivey came in with two friends around 9 :30 p.m. Celebrity writer and TV personality, Robin Leach arrived around 9:20 p.m. to get a light bite at the bar. He had a few glasses of wine and appetizers before heading back to Playboy Club.
Downstairs at N9NE Steakhouse, retired professional football player Joe Montana dined with his agent, Mike Bertolini. They enjoyed the shellfish platter to start. For his main course, Montana had the New York strip steak and spinach.
