Shaq buys $765G Las Vegas home near his Big Chicken restaurant on the Strip
The home's pool includes waterfall, swim-up bar, spa with bridge
Like whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Well, so does Shaq.
Shaquille O’Neal paid $765,000 for a home in Las Vegas earlier this year, and it's not too far from the chicken restaurant he opened on the Strip, local property records show.

A bonus loft space on the second floor opens to a balcony overlooking the private backyard, which has a covered patio and a tiki-style cabana with an outdoor kitchen. There’s also a pool with a waterfall, a swim-up bar and a small bridge connecting to a spa in the middle of the pool.

While the spacious home offers a lot of luxury, it’s nowhere near the scope of O’Neal’s longtime Florida home, which he purchased at the start of his 19-season NBA career. He’s looking to sell that property for $19.5 million, though, and he has also listed a California home, cutting the price last week to $1.999 million.
Meanwhile, Shaq still owns a property in Georgia, near where he works as an analyst for “NBA on TNT” in Atlanta. Earlier this year, O'Neal also had a huge water feature installed on the property, with an 80-foot stream, six waterfalls and a koi pond.
