Holly Madison, Criss Angel and the requisite bunny, at the Playboy Club.

* Gorgeous blond beauty Holly Madison is back in town today. The 28-year-old, who was 82-year-old Hugh Hefner’s former live-in love, has arrived with her "Girls Next Door" co-star Bridget Marquardt in tow.

On Tuesday night the two will host the “Trick ‘em and Treat ‘em” Halloween happening for N9NE nightclub czar J-Roc at the Playboy Club and the rooftop Moon nightclub above in the Palms Fantasy Tower. The glamour girls will be dressed up in their scandalous short skirts and plunging pulchritude -- and Holly’s "closerthanthis" pal, Criss Angel, is expected to hop over to join the fun after his last-but-one preview show of "Believe" before Friday’s glittering gala at the Luxor.

Holly has already confirmed to me that she has accepted Criss’ personal invitation to be his guest at the “black carpet” Halloween night premiere and she’ll take Bridget as her “date” until she links up with Criss after his show at the first-night poolside party.

Michael Phelps

* Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps continued on with his nightclub spree when he showed up in a group with 12 friends that included pro-poker prince Antonio “The Magician” Esfandiari at the Tao nightclub. Michael posed with fans for photos as the group ordered champagne and Patron tequila shots. Alongside were poker pros Phil Hellmuth, David Williams and CBS "Late Late Show" host, Scottish-born comedian Craig Ferguson. Also there after dining in the Tao restaurant below on chicken pad thai and sushi platters was "Saw V" actress Megan Good, who starred in "Stomp The Yard."

* At Jet in the Mirage, actor Efren Ramirez from the quirky 2004 "Napoleon Dynamite" comedy, showed up with his twin brother, Carlos. Efren took over as guest DJ and stayed spinning until 3 a.m.

* Run DMC rap group member Rev Run was the celebrity host at the Body English nightclub inside the Hard Rock hotel casino and brought along rapper Coolio and Mel DeBarge to add the music.

* Actor Johnathon Schaech celebrated the release of his horror flick “Quarantine” with the film’s writer and executive producer, Drew Dowdie. Johnathon’s girlfriend, actress Jana Kramer, joined them later after flying in from L.A., where she was filming the new “90210” TV series. The trio feasted on lobster wantons and Chilean seabass before going up to the nightclub for Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon and Grey Goose vodka. Rapper Flavor Flav was also spotted in the restaurant.

* ABC Family’s "Kyle XY" star Matt Dallas celebrated his birthday at Tao with 12 friends, and after the signature sushi platters the sexy servers surprised him with a cake and everybody sang along with "Happy Birthday" as he blew out the candles. He got another massive sing-along when he went upstairs to the Tao nightclub, where comedian David Spade was relaxing at an owner’s table.
