Michael Phelps celebrates at the Playboy Club.

American gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps celebrated at the Playboy Club in the Palms until 2 a.m. this morning.

The 23-year-old swimmer has won 14 career Olympic gold medals -- the most by any Olympian -- and as of last month now holds seven world records. At the Beijing Olympics he won eight golds, surpassing the previous record of seven held by swimmer Mark Spitz at the 1972 Games.

Michael arrived in Vegas late yesterday afternoon and checked into the Hardwood basketball-themed suite at the Palms Fantasy Tower.

Just before midnight he arrived in a group of 20 people for two hours of "quiet partying" at the Playboy Club. Michael stuck to bottled Fiji water!

Luxe Life will continue to monitor Michael's gold-studded weekend in Vegas at the Palms, so check back to Luxe Life on Monday for the full report.
