Publisher's Summary
The number-one New York Times best-selling author returns with this candid, humorous, and captivating memoir chronicling her journey toward reinvention and self-acceptance.
When you've come out the other side of the bizarre, twisted world of the Playboy mansion, where do you land? If you're Holly Madison...there's no place like Las Vegas!
After making the sudden decision to reclaim her life, Holly broke free from the sheltered, deceptive confines of the mansion (which meant exiting a hit television show) and was determined to start her life over...from scratch. Without the security of a job or a relationship, she set out to reinvent herself on no one's terms but her own.
Deciding to roll the dice and begin again in the glamorous and dreamlike city of Las Vegas, Holly quickly realized that while she may have left her past in the rearview mirror, the labels and stereotypes that came from it weren't so quick to leave her. With a fierce commitment to take charge of her own narrative, Holly dives headfirst into a journey of self-discovery. After a whirlwind stint on Dancing with the Stars, she snags the coveted lead role in the Strip's hottest new burlesque spectacular and lands a reality series spotlighting her new life as a single woman.
If her own television show and dream job as a showgirl aren't enough to keep her busy, Holly explores the decadent, exclusive inner world of Sin City, navigating its social and dating scene with humor and heart. When it comes to romance, she is met with an eclectic cast of characters, from fame hounds to long-distance loves to the occasional celebrity and more than one tabloid mishap. In this reflective, heartwarming memoir, Holly learns that each dating disaster holds an important - and, in some cases, difficult to face - lesson about herself.
The Vegas Diaries is a comedy of errors set against the glitz and glamour of the dazzling Vegas Strip. Through the wild and crazy experiences on one young woman's quest to have it all, Holly faces her fears, anxieties, and insecurities to discover that her journey to self-sufficiency is also her path to healing. Letting go of trying to prove herself to others, Holly finally gains the courage to confront her past - and in the process finds the life and love she deserves.

Great listen!
I've read Holly's other books, so I found it interesting to listen to this chapter of her life... and loved that it was narrated by her!

One of my faves
I always loved Holly on the girls next door and as I grew and my life changed, it was great to go through some of those changes with her, through her books. Thank you Holly, your honesty and beautiful storytelling have helped me through some difficult times in my life. Please never stop writing.

Beautiful insight
Through listening to Hollys book, it has helped me to feel “less alone” with my mind & the way it has worked over the years of growing up. With some of the stories she shares, & the insight Holly gives to what went through her mind during certain situations- i was able to relate to parts of my own life journey. Her insight into the path of finding ones-self, was so healing to listen to. I especially love the way she ends the book ❤️

Another good read :)
Read this right after reading Holly’s first book, and whilst I have to say the first book was better this was still a really great read. It delves more into her time in Vegas, her life after Playboy, and I think she’s done a fantastic job of telling her side of the story and separating herself from that past. She’s shown how successful, independent and driven she is.

If you love Holly
This book is great if you love Holly and want to carry on from her previous book "Down the rabbit hole". If you didn't know what the word 'incredulously' meant, you certainly will after listening to this book.

A wonderful journey into the world of a celebrity.
Great story, great performance. I didn't want it to end. You really get to see through the eyes of a celebrity las vegas performer.

AMAZING BOOK
I loooooooove this book and have listened to countless times over the years. It really builds and expands on her first book and gives more of a narrative about Holly’s life after she left the Mansion. I can’t recommend this book enough, it’s an easy listen, moves at a great pass and is really well narrated so you don’t get board.

Regrettably bought
I bought this book based on reviews but was so disappointed and bored I didn’t even finish it.
It’s a shame as I know she has other books that I would have bought had this one been more then stories of a very self involved victim!!
