Midsummer Night's Dreaming in Vegas

Next to Halloween, Hef’s Midsummer Night’s Dream party at the Mansion is the single hottest costume party of the year. The Palms's version of the annual summer soirée never disappoints, and this year’s lingerie masquerade certainly gave Playboy fans in Sin City bragging rights.

Gorgeous girls-turned-goddesses partied on the Playboy Club premises while painted ladies wore nothing but the art on their bodies. Even reality TV star Pauly D came out (minus his Jersey Shore entourage) for a little guest deejaying poolside, keeping guests on their feet well into the morning.

Check out our photo gallery (right) and see why Midsummer at the Palms is the hottest party in Vegas all year.

Want more Midsummer? Lima's take on the sexy, Shakespearean(ish) night  gave us another reason to love Peru, Peruvians and all our international Playmates. Check out the party pics from South America and relive summer, wherever you are.
