Shaq’s Fantasy Labs has earned its own fanatics for the immersive experience it offers. It’s already off to a good start with the response to the holiday version.

Shaq’s Fantasy Lab gets a Christmas makeover

Shaquille O’Neal made his debut as the Chief Fantasy Officer (CFO) of his new addition to the Las Vegas landscape – Shaq’s Fantasy Labs – in October. The multimedia visual exhibit had two versions, both based on O’Neal’s thoughts and dreams. It had multiple rooms with different themes, each as mesmerizing as the next.

The exhibit has been upgraded for the holidays. Shaq announced the new version of the exhibit on Instagram with a Disney-esque caption. “A Christmas Dream at Shaq’s Fantasy Lab: Your ticket to a magical holiday Christmas immersive experience! #ShaqsFantasyLabLV #FantasyLab #Ad @fantasylablv,” got fans as enthused as the accompanying teaser of the holidayfied Fantasy Labs visuals.

‘A Christmas Dream’ by Shaq’s Fantasy Labs is open from now till January 6, 2024. Be sure to check the dates while booking tickets. An offering by Shaq never fails to create hype.

The big man usually enjoys a quiet Christmas of giving rather than receiving. His goal is to spread smiles and the new edition of Fantasy Labs is one more way. By the response under the announcement alone, he’s clearly met his goal.

CFO Shaquille O’Neal is drawing fans

The impact of the Chief Fantasy Officer is instantaneous. The glimpses of the new visual treats are eliciting strong reactions. “Looks like a Dream tooooo,” one fan rightfully commented on “A Christmas Dream”

“Shaq-a-Claus,” someone was reminded of. We all know Shaq-a-Claus is literally the gift that keeps on giving. Amid the excited GIFs of Shaq alone that summarize everyone’s feelings, one person kept it simple with, “Sounds like fun.”

This spectacle is only available in Las Vegas where Shaq’s Fantasy Labs is based. Those who aren’t visiting Vegas before January 6 are going to miss out as one mournfully wrote, “Wish I could go.” Hopefully, those who can’t experience this have a Shaq-tastic holiday anyway.
