Halloween is the stuff Las Vegas legends are made of, with girls in skimpy and suggestive costumes and men in elaborate and attention-getting costumes, all to take part in the annual event and take a shot at winning one of the exorbitant cash prizes offered by the nightclubs. For everyone that has spent months preparing, that time of the year has finally arrived.

Las Vegas Halloween 2011 is already shaping up to be an event to remember, with costume parties, celebrity hosts, and internationally renowned DJs invading The Strip. Among the most highly anticipated events is Holly Madison’s 3rd Annual “Hollyween” at Studio 54 at MGM Grand, where she will be joined by Holly’s World co-stars Laura Croft (Night School 4 Girls at Excalibur), Angel Porrino (Absinthe at Caesar’s Palace), and Josh Strickland (Peepshow at Planet Hollywood). Holly’s former Girls Next Door co-star, Bridget Marquardt, who was well-known for her love all things spooky and Halloween-related, will be hosting a Halloween party on Saturday, October 29th at Gallery Nightclub at Planet Hollywood. Tao Nightclub at The Venetian will be giving away $10,000 in prizes at their “Taolloween” costume contest on October 27th, as well as hosting Heidi Klum’s annual Halloween party on the 29th.
