It was a sizzlin’ hot 118 degrees at Pleasure Pool at Planet Hollywood over the weekend for another installment of the weekly bikini contest, and contributing photographer Tom Donoghue, who has this really tough assignment, reported that it was so hot, he had to wrap a towel around his Nikon camera to complete the photo shoot under the relentless sun!

The top three winners hailed from Wisconsin, Virginia and Arizona, on the heels of a California sweep the previous weekend. In fact, the $500 winner from Wisconsin was at Planet Hollywood with 19 members of her family celebrating her 21st birthday. What better birthday memory than to win a bikini contest -- and some extra cash -- while in Las Vegas?

It’s only six weeks until all the weekly winners return Labor Day weekend to compete for the first-place prize of $5,000, the title and the tiara.
