Las Vegas gets grander every time the O’Neals are in town. Shaquille O’Neal was hosting his annual charity gala in Sin City with his family among the star-studded performance lineup. Taking a break from games and college tours was one the youngest of the fam. And she had proof of her fun night at the entertainment destination.

Someone keeping an eye out for Shaq’s daughter is her hype-mom and TikTok collaborator, Shaunie Henderson. She had the most mom-like reaction to her daughter’s trip. Shaunie’s new husband also hyped up his stepdaughter’s recent pictures from her Vegas trip.

The 17-year-old is at a crucial point in her student-athlete life. Me’Arah is fielding offers from highly ranked basketball programs, including the LSU Tigers where her dad played and her sister is currently at. Meanwhile, her mom Shaunie has been accompanying her on college tours and her exhibition games too. A weekend getaway in Vegas is much-deserved.

Me’Arah seemed to have enjoyed Vegas strip’s hotspots like the Hilton Hotels’ recognizable Paris balloon. Owning the neon aesthetic in her effortless style, she posed as imposingly as her dad in front of a glowing “World famous for a reason” sign.
