The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

This is Let's Be Honest with Kristen Cavalery, a podcast all about getting real and open on

everything from sex, relationships, reality TV, wellness, family, and so much more.

And just a fair warning, there will probably be some oversharing.

Welcome into Let's Be Honest. I love today's episode with Holly Madison. She is someone

I have been dying to get on the pod. So she's finally here. And what I love about her is how

unfiltered, raw and real she is. I love this woman. I love Vegas. I love a good Vegas trip. Do you go on the strip? All the time. I'm not one of those locals that say I never go to the strip. Like I am squatting on the strip. I love to hear that. I know most people are like, nah, when you live in Vegas, you never go to the strip. But so, okay, where are your places? Where are you going? Are you going out? Or are you just going to dinners? Mostly just dinners. Like, I did go out recently because Tiana and Mojo was in town. And she was like back at the wind for a first time in a while. So we had to do like a sober excess night, which is not quite the same being sober. Yeah, but you know, the thing about being sober, though, is like watching, just the people watching. It's like elevated to the next level. So that's kind of fun. Yeah, that is fun. That is fun. So you just said you've been in Vegas for 18 years. Yes. I cannot believe that. What do you love so much about Vegas that you don't get in L.A.? Well, I think everything's easier

out there just because you don't have to drive like 30 miles to get from one thing to the next with all

the traffic. Everything's a little bit easier. And I just really resonated with the community there.

When I moved there, everybody was just so supportive and accepting when I came to do my show there.

And I just like clicked with it. It's, like,

corny, though, because I feel even, like, more connected than just that. Like, I always say I'm, like, connected with the land. I know. I believe that. Yeah. So almost like a past life thing, we're like, maybe you live there before. And so you do have this connection to Vegas. Yeah. Would you ever miss anything? I know you're in L.A. a lot, but do you miss anything about L.A.? I mean, there's

like spots I love, like a little polo lounge moment or a Disney moment or just like a Malibu moment. So there's so much to love about L.A. But I do get to come here so much, you know, when the kids are out here and things like that. So, No. No, I know. It's probably good for my skin to be out here and not in the desert all the time. But yeah, I feel like I get the best of both worlds. When you're out here, so you get your little LA fix. That's how I feel too. Have you taken your kids to Disney? All the time. They're actually at a point. My daughter's 13 and my son is 9.

So they're kind of at the point where they're like not as into it now because they're a little bit older.

So I'm not going as much.

But yeah.

I'm actually about to do.

I took my kids to Disney for spring break.

I guess it was two years ago.

And my kids just said they want to come back out to L.A. And we're going to do Disney again this summer. I know. We love it. And my kids are actually 13, almost 12 and 10, but they're still into it, which makes me see...

I love that. I know the Star Wars thing we all were like freaking out about. Have you seen that one yet?

Yes. Yeah, it's the best. Well, okay, I'm sure in every interview you do, you're still asked about the girls next door, Hugh Hefner, you know, all the things, that whole era in your life. Do you ever get annoyed in interviews when people ask you about it? Or do you feel like, you know what, that was such an interesting time in my life? I'm happy to talk about it. Share that with everybody. And I know obviously you've leaned into it with, you know, your podcast and your book and everything else that you've done with it. But are you ever kind of like,
