Vegas: Palms Becomes Shaq’s House

Shaq, girlfriend Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander, family and friends dined and partied at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on Saturday night. After dinner at Nove Italiano, Shaq celebrated with a retirement party at Moon Nightclub at the resort.
Shaq held court at a VIP table and indulged in Dom Pérignon and Patron. He had DJ Exodus perform a tribute to Michael Jackson (Saturday was the 2nd anniversary of his death) and the packed house at Moon sang along.
Shaq and his fans also enjoyed a tribute reel of his career highlights that was played on screens throughout the club.
Caked Las Vegas provided the cake, with the Laker log finding a prominent place on it.
Mark Sanchez stopped by as did illusionist Criss Angel. Earlier, Sanchez had dinner with friends at N9NE steakhouse.
