Shaquille O'Neal Celebrates With Sweet Slam Dunk Sugar Factory Treats
Shaquille O’Neal was the biggest kid in the candy store yesterday afternoon as the NBA sports star celebrated his retirement and satisfied his sweet tooth at Sugar Factory at Paris Las Vegas.
O’Neal, who was accompanied by girlfriend, reality star Nicole Alexander, sampled sweets in Sugar Factory’s retail store, picking up heaping handfuls of sour gummy candies, chocolate-covered gummy bears and a few tank tops for Alexander.
The doting duo loved Sugar Factory’s signature Couture Pops and playfully posed for photos with fans. Following their shopping excursion, O’Neal and Alexander grabbed a private booth at The Chocolate Lounge inside Sugar Factory American Brasserie and indulged in milk chocolate and cookies and cream milkshakes, along with a plate full of handmade chocolate truffles.
Also spotted at the sweetest spot on the Strip was Indiana Pacers player, Tyler Hansbrough. The NBA player was enjoying Sugar Factory American Brasserie’s signature Red Velvet pancakes at the restaurant with a group of friends. He also stopped to look around the sprawling retail section and check out the selection of candy.
