Michael Phelps, the 23-time Olympic gold medalist, enjoyed a night out partying at XS Nightclub in the Wynn Las Vegas Resort with DJ Diplo.
Phelps took his top off and embraced Diplo several times at the DJ booth.
The 37-year-old wasn’t the only celebrity present as UFC icon Conor McGregor, two-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce, and star of Creed 3, Michael B. Jordan were also in attendance.
Phelps, who is regarded as one of the most legendary athletes in the United States, retired following the 2012 Olympics but made a return in 2014 before competing in the 2016 Olympics, winning five gold medals and one silver before announcing his second retirement after the Games.
Phelps attended the nightclub with his wife, Nicole Phelps, who is a former Miss California USA.
The club was filled with celebrities, and the Phelps’ posed alongside Travis Kelce, a two-time Super Bowl champ with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The club posted numerous pictures of the star-studded night, captioning it, “Tonight was legendary! Saturday’s at #XSLasVegas are TOO GOOD! @Diplo was on fire tonight!”
Commentary:
It is refreshing to see athletes taking some time off from their rigorous training schedules and enjoying themselves.
Phelps has always been one of the most recognizable faces in the sports world, and it is great to see him having a good time with other celebrities.
His achievements in the Olympics have made him a sporting icon, and it is a testament to his hard work and dedication that he has achieved so much in his career.
While it is essential for athletes to stay focused on their goals, it is equally important for them to take a break and relax from time to time.
