LAS VEGAS, Nev. --

What better way to celebrate victory in the Olympics than with a trip to Las Vegas!

Eight-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps hit Sin City on Thursday night, where he was photographed inside the Playboy Club at the Palms Casino Resort.

Phelps shacked up for the night at the hotel, opting for the Palms’ Hardwood Suite, which has its own indoor basketball court. The Olympian was also staying in one of the hotel’s sky villas, which features an outdoor terrace and Jacuzzi.

Not a bad way to unwind, if you ask us.
