Recently packing her bags in the City of Angels with her sights set on the City of Sin, Holly Madison now calls Las Vegas home. And soon, you’ll get to see what this "Girl Next Door" really has been up to on her new reality show, Holly’s World on E!

"It’s a really fun, dramatic look into Vegas during the daytime," Madison said of the reality series, set to premiere June 13 at 10:30 p.m.

So what does the star do at night? She stars in Peepshow, the burlesque review at the Planet Hollywood Resort. Madison landed the job shortly after seeing former Spice Girl Mel B and soap star Kelly Monaco perform in the production. "I was looking to do a guest spot in a burlesque show out here for fun," Madison said. "I just thought the Bo Peep role was absolutely perfect for me. I’ve been happy here ever since."

Filming during the day and performing at night, the busybody headliner stated she loves being able to dance on-stage six nights a week.

"It probably couldn’t be a better match," stated Peepshow costar and male lead Josh Strickland. He added, "She just exudes what Bo Peep should exude. She has a sense of innocence and beauty."

Strickland is also one of Madison’s costars on Holly’s World. Rounding off the posse are Playboy playmate Laura Croft and Vegas native Angel Porrino. The show will follow the gang around town as they experience the Las Vegas valley and all it has to offer. Strickland shared that the show will dive deep into the city, venturing off the Vegas reality cliché that is Las Vegas Boulevard. "I think that a lot of people are not going to expect to see what we come up with here in Vegas. You know it’s not just the Strip. There’s a lot more to Vegas than just that," he said.

With a vast city to explore, Madison has taken on another task: writing a travel guide specific to Sin City. "I’m trying to explore as many spots as I can. I love taking locals’ recommendations and seeing what’s out there," she said.

The star also admitted that staying home can be enjoyable as well. "I just bought a house, so lately we’ve been liking to barbecue and lay out by the pool and just enjoy this nice weather," she said.

The Holly’s World cast can often be found at her permanent residence every weekend. "We have Sunday barbecues and we call it ’family Sundays’ and ’family time’ and you know what? It’s a lot of fun!" stated Strickland, Madison’s "boy BFF."

Fans of The Girls Next Door would be pleased to know that the show will also feature some extended members of Madison’s family. A road trip from Los Angeles with Madison’s longtime friend Bridget Marquardt will be featured, and the Peepshow star also visits Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett for pitching tips before throwing the first ball at a Las Vegas 51’s game.

Madison is making a name for herself in Las Vegas and has some big plans in store.

"Vegas is definitely home," states the blonde bombshell. She added, "I want to explore the entertainment industry a little more but hopefully get involved with city politics someday, too."

So can we expect to see Holly for Mayor signs downtown soon? Madison is hopeful. "Maybe someday. Yeah."

E’s Holly’s World premieres June 13, 2010 on E.
