Michael Phelps wins big in Vegas.
There's no stopping Michael Phelps’ winning streak - even on dry land.
The all-time Olympics record holder for most medals came up aces in Las Vegas this week - raking in $100,000 in a single poker game, TMZ.com reported.
Phelps, fresh off his six medals at the London Olympics, hit Caesar’s Palace last weekend for the fateful game, according to the gossip site. The 27-year-old then proceeded to spend some of his winnings at the Tryst nightclub in the nearby Wynn hotel - where Prince Harry played a round of strip billiards a few days earlier.

To the victors go the spoils: Phelps, who finished his Olympic swimming career with a record 22 medals, partied with his budies in the Maldives before hitting Vegas for an encore. He’s also dating a stunning model worthy of an 18-time gold medal winner: 25-year-old Megan Rosse.
Phelps will be soon trading his Speedos for a golf club in an upcoming reality show. Phelps will learn from Tiger Woods’ old coach, Hank Haney, on “The Haney Project.”
