So, this thing is literally all about flowers, right?
We don’t know if you’ve heard anything about this yet, but there’s this festival called the Electric Daisy Carnival coming this weekend. It’s true! 1 Oak is giving away a trip for six (on a Speedway-bound chopper), with a table, to the industry host or hostess who brings the biggest crew. And will reward them by deeming most of them unfit for chopper duties. Click for more words and pictures »

And a hundred frat guys just all blew their loads.
The dreaded Red solo cup makes an appearance at 1 Oak tonight with a beer pong tournament that can score you a houseboat vacation on the lake. Also: Thanks for making this a thing, Toby Keith. Got any other already annoyingly fetishized things you’d like to write an ode to? How about dorm room Scarface posters? Got a nice C&W “The World is Not Enough” ditty in you?

DJs Crooked and Nava are throwing a KNYEW party tonight at 1 Oak, complete with clothing giveaways from their boutique. Though you could be forgiven if we’ve given you the impression they’re an anti-clothing boutique. Which, now that we mention it, is a thing that should exist that we should be in charge of.

We can’t decide if Charli XCX looks like Lady Skrillex or White Gogo Yubari, but either way she was at Lavo last night for Vice Sunday. She’s featured on Icona Pop’s “I Love It,” which she did as well as “What I Like” fo ra crowd that included Dana White and Todd English.
On Friday night at 1 Oak, Ne-Yo did a few tracks including “Let Me Love You,” “Let’s Go” and “Sexy Love.” This now concludes your updates on People in Vegas Clubs This Weekend Who Have Names That Could Also Be Anime Robots.

“Breezy, how would you treat that cake if the cake were a woman?” (Photo by Denise Truscello)
Chris Brown celebrated another milestone in his young, rage-filled life by partying at 1 Oak on Saturday night (sans purple pants).
Breezy brought out Lil Wayne (not chasing his sizzurp with Mountain Dew), Jeremih and Fabolous. He scored a Black Pyramid cake in honor of his clothing line, weirdly being promoted as “completely stainproof, even from blood and matted hair.” It’s just an odd sales pitch, is all we’re saying.

In our head, he’s leading the crowd in a Debbie Gibson singalong.
1 Oak is already celebrating its industry night one-year anniversary tonight with Luminox. The DJ, not the popular line of watches. Though we would go to a party where we were given an attractive timepiece. Or even a Swatch. Who wouldn’t take a free Swatch? No one. That’s who. Click for more words and pictures »

Psh. This has nothing to do with Dr. Doom.
1 Oak brings in Heroes X Villains tonight, and as far as we can tell the duo is composed of neither Green Lantern and Sinestro, nor a David Bowie record. But we guess if you want to see a couple of DJs who aren’t dueling Bowie records, that’s your choice. We suppose. Click for more words and pictures »

1 Oak has producer, executive and Alicia Keys husband Swizz Beatz in tonight to spin a DJ set. He always seems to be around when Diddy is hanging out doing something, so if you were hoping for a surprise Diddy appearance, this would be your best bet. Unless, you know, a club left a bottle of Ciroc out under a box propped up by a stick with a string tied to it. Diddy can’t resist that kind of bait. Click for more words and pictures »

Little known fact: Kendrick Lamar shoots light out of his head.
1 Oak brought in Kendrick Lamar Friday night, who loaded up his table with champagne, Grey Goose and Hennessy. That is a man who knows how to hunker down for a night. Or at least a couple hours–he came in around 1 a.m., banged out “Swimming Pools,” “Ignorance is Bliss” and “Soul,” plus a few others, then was gone after 3 a.m. Look, if you’re going to stock up on hooch, you need enough to get you through two-and-a-half hours or so. You don’t want to be going thirsty around 2:45 a.m.

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky: Still not Jessica Beil and Justin Timberlake.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel spent the weekend trading off on restaurants at Bellagio, which was just as well, because had they, say, ventured over to Town Square, it could’ve gotten awkward in that way where you run into your ex out one night and even though you knew they were with somebody else because you kind of Facebook stalk them, you didn’t really think you’d ever have to be confronted with it in real life, but there it is and all of a sudden you get really flustered and you know your current SO is going to be giving you the death glare as soon as you turn your back.
Anyway, Justin went to Yellowtail on Friday night with the guys for a bachelor party, while Jessica was hitting up a bachelorette at Fix. On Saturday, she went to see what she missed out on the night before, heading to Yellowtail with the girls before going over to 1 Oak, where she was drinking Fireball. She could’ve saved a ton of cash and had all the Fireball she could handle if she just went Downtown.
Meanwhile, Real Houseife Kyle Richards and husband Mauricio Umansky were at The Bank Friday night, while on Saturday Vinny Guadagnino went from Zarkana to Haze with his mom to see Pauly D spin. She took off after 30 minutes, which is still about 28 minutes more than most moms would stick around in the club.
