Even today, the phrase "party at the Playboy Mansion" evokes hedonistic images of debauchery, people racing about in their underwear, and all-night craziness. And you'd be absolutely right. While The New York Post notes that the Playmates had a strict 9 PM curfew most nights, this wasn't enforced on party nights, leading to some craziness. Bring together a bunch of rich celebrities, connected industry folks, and scantily-clad models, and things are likely to get out of hand.
As reported by author Kathryn Leigh Scott in her book "The Bunny Years," classic parties at the Playboy Mansion often went on until the wee hours of the night, with some guests not arriving until after 3 AM when their work ended. Hefner often supplied breakfast to his guests who were still there the next morning, in fact.
By the 21st century, however, things had changed somewhat. While the parties were still wild affairs filled with famous people, the overall vibe had calmed down. According to Vice, a party held at the mansion in 2000 in honor of Limp Bizkit's new record release ended around 2:30 in the morning — not exactly early, but not exactly a legendary rager, either. But don't cry for the guests — they all went out to the clubs and kept the party going.
