Bidding is likely to run into the thou$and$ this late afternoon when Peepshow and Holly’s World star Holly Madison hosts the 3rd Annual Smokin’ Hot Bachelorette Auction in Ghostbar at the Palms.

Holly will auction off 10 talented, attractive single ladies from Las Vegas, including Laura Croft, her roommate and co-star in the upcoming E! series Holly’s World. Laura is the July 2008 Playboy Playmate. (Incidentally, Holly’s Peepshow co-star Josh Strickland and yours truly will be featured on Holly’s World.)

The sexy bachelorette auction benefits Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth. The event is from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., and admission is $50. Even I have put in a bid by overseas phone to see if I’m lucky enough to land a date with Laura!
