Enjoying her first-ever visit to Las Vegas, Gorga celebrated her 34th birthday with an action-packed weekend. Excited fans lined up all morning for their chance to get up close with the “I Just Wanna” singer. It was a packed red carpet as Gorga, accompanied by her husband, Joe Gorga, dazzled in a blue and pink cut-out dress and sky-high, nude pumps. Gorga’s co-stars and cousins, Richard and Kathy Wakile, surprised the crowd and joined the playful couple on the red carpet.

Once inside the sweet shop, Gorga enjoyed Sugar Factory’s Chocolate Cookie Jar Milkshake and sipped on a colorful Lollipop Passion Goblet. The bubbly “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” starlet made her way around the store to get her sugar rush with confections including Runts, Chewy Sprees and her favorite, gumballs. Savoring her first visit to Las Vegas, Gorga graciously signed autographs and took pictures with fans who purchased one of Sugar Factory’s famous Couture Pops.
