Michael Phelps has a serious chip on his shoulder -- and even more in his pockets.
Captain Speedo is on a serious mission to become a respected world-class poker player ... and he's off to a pretty good start. Phelps hit the poker room at the Bellagio in Vegas the other day, where he strapped on his iPod, cracked open a Bud Lite, and ponied up at a no-limit Texas Hold 'em game.
We're told at one point, Phelps raked in a pot worth around $5,000! But there's more...
Over the weekend, Phelps entered a No Limit tourney at Caesars Palace, where he placed 9th out of 187 entrants. In fact, he did so well, Phelps was even awarded a cheesy gold medallion. Gotta love that.

A quote from our guy in Vegas: "In all my years in Vegas, I've never seen such pandemonium over anybody."

Elyse Umemoto, Miss Washington 2007, has been laying low since pictures of her flipping off the camera, getting her Beer Pong on, and of course making suggestive girl-on-girl oral sex signs surfaced in July.
So it's kind of ironic that the first time she's spotted out after her controversy was at a Hawaiian Tropic bikini contest in Las Vegas last night. For her part, and sadly, Elyse (left) was one of the few ladies who kept her clothes on.

TMZ has learned Tila Tequila's lesbian girlfriend was arrested in Vegas last night -- for allegedly hitting on a guy!
According to law enforcement sources in Las Vegas, it all went down outside of Pure nightclub when a boozed up Courtenay Semel, daughter of former Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel, "smacked" a security guard in the back of the head on her way out of the place.
Courtenay was immediately detained by Caesars Palace security while members of her posse -- including Vegas showman Jeff Beacher -- waited for cops to arrive. Four hours later, law enforcement arrived and issued Semel a citation for battery. We're thinking daddy can probably cover the fine.
Attempts to reach a rep for Semel were unsuccessful.
