Hugh Hefner is coming to Las Vegas to sneak a peek at his ex, Bo Peep.

Hefner is rumored to be planning a not-so-surprise visit to see former fling, Holly Madison, this weekend.

The Playboy mogul is said to have snagged a few prime seats for a performance of Madison’s topless revue at Planet Hollywood, Peepshow, on Saturday.

Two of the 83-year-old magnate’s three current girlfriends, 19-year-old twin sisters Karissa and Kristina Shannon, are expected to join him for the topless revue. Girlfriend number three, Crystal Harris, is not likely to be joining him.

If all goes to plan, the visit will be captured on film for an upcoming episode of the The Girls Next Door.

Madison starred in the first five seasons of the E! reality show, which provides an inside look at life in and around the Playboy Mansion. However, she forfeited her starring role when she bowed out of her relationship with Hefner last September.

Madison’s former co-stars, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, have also left life at the mansion behind since then. Wilkinson is pregnant, recently married NFL player Hank Baskett, and currently has an E! reality show of her own. Meanwhile, Marquardt is busy, too, beach-hopping around the globe as host of Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches on the Travel Channel.

A resilient playboy, Hefner wasted no time on the rebound and quickly filled the bunny void with 22-year-old Harris and the Shannon sisters, whose bunny credentials were recently upgraded to “Playmate,” after they were named Miss July and Miss August.

Though Madison never received the distinction of “Playmate” during her time at the mansion (and multiple appearances on the pages of the pin-up magazine) the 29-year-old beauty is supportive of Hefner and his new lady friends.

Hef’s well-endowed arm candy past and present crossed paths earlier this year as he celebrated his 83rd birthday at the Palms.

Yet instead of a catfight, the six blondes were all smiles as they lounged by the pool and chatted amongst themselves.

Hefner’s last visit to Las Vegas was in May, when he came to town to host a bunny-filled VIP banquet and name Miss March 2008, Ida Ljungqvist, Playmate of the Year.
