Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps was spotted in Las Vegas this week for a little rest, relaxation and fun before he begins his grueling training for the 2012 Olympics. Phelps was taking a little time off from his weekend Pan Pacific Championships, where he scored the world’s fastest 100 freestyle time and also won the butterfly. While relaxing and soaking in the sun, he dined at N9NE Steakhouse in the Palms and partied past midnight at Ghostbar. Phelps also hit up The Bank in the Bellagio before his trip ended. The incredible swimmer surprisingly ran into rival Olympian, three-time Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte, at the next VIP table celebrating his birthday. The swimmers were cordial enough to party and pose for photographs together. All seemed copasetic but we doubt things will be so pleasant in London in 2011.

All t he longhaired employees of The Rio were asked to donate some hair in her name. I don’t think a 2-year-old would look good in my long curly hair, but I hope someone can use it. … We all wish her the best,” he said.
