This is a yearly tradition to attend some of these luxury gifting lounges,alittle off the beaten track,but it was a fun afternoon for all.

Our last stop for the evening was Shaq’s Fun House. This is a unique event/gala, Part-carnival, part-festival, part-circus, the 7’1” NBA legend and businessman filled the Mardi Gras World on Friday night with a star-studded special guest list.
A highlight of the evening included Shaq lighting up the night with his live DJ set under his popular D.J. Diesel stage name, spinning tracks from modern hits to ‘80s favorites.
During our conversation shortly before he hit the stage, Shaq informed me that he actually loses money every time he chooses to DJ, from properly assembling his team to ensuring that his crew’s impressive audio & visual setup is effectively ready for him to confidently perform.
A fun time for all, some took home stuffed animal prizes, circus mementos and a stomach full of Carnaval food and drinks.
