It’s not just zipping into a tight, bunny-tailed, figure-hugging, breast-bulging corset! It’s not just about balancing atop the high-heeled uniform shoes. To be a Playboy Bunny dealer at the gaming tables of the world’s only Playboy Club at George Maloof’s Palms Fantasy Tower takes a rigorous training course that runs over a six-week time line.

Curvy Carmen Electra has been learning the ropes as a one-night-only licensed dealer to tie in with her nude appearance on the cover and eight inside pages of the upcoming January newsstand release of the 55th anniversary Playboy magazine issue. It’s her third pin-up pictorial; although she posed first in 1996, she hasn’t been featured in five years.

Carmen, 36, has been scheduled to perform her playing-card duties next weekend, and she’ll appear in the Playboy Club at the Palms on Dec. 13. No doubt Korn rock guitarist-boyfriend Rob Patterson will be looking on in approval.

Carmen has been married and divorced twice here in Las Vegas -- to basketball bad boy Dennis Rodman and to tattooed rocker Dave Navarro. Carmen returns once again to Vegas to host a New Year’s Eve countdown party at Tao nightclub in The Venetian.

The only other TV personality to have previously won the right to be a card-dealing Playboy Bunny was actress Jenny McCarthy.
