Peepshow and Holly’s World blonde bombshell Holly Madison has added another member to her Las Vegas family. Madison, with her ferret Sid and newly adopted ferret Nancy, was at The Animal Foundation yesterday to sign adoption papers.

Since moving to Las Vegas, Madison has been very active in the community, and one of her, ahem, pet causes has been animals and The Animal Foundation. Sid and Nancy join Madison’s pet pooches Napoleon and Josephine in her new home.

Garth Brooks performs at Encore Theater in the Wynn on Dec. 12, 2009.

*As previously reported on VDLX, Wynn headliner and country superstar Garth Brooks is performing with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony at Sun Valley Pavilion in Idaho on Sunday. The concert, which is sold out, is a one-of-a-kind event because Brooks rarely performs with a full orchestra. Hotel mogul Steve Wynn is a Sun Valley resident and supporter of the Sun Valley Pavilion.

*The Ambhar Tequila’s Goddess Model Search with the sounds of DJ Reach gets underway at 5 p.m. Saturday at Azure Pool in the Palazzo.
