There are lots of reasons why Ended Up at 1 OAK Wednesdays was voted Las Vegas’ favorite nightclub industry-night promotion in Las Vegas Weekly’s annual Best of Vegas readers’ poll. VIP cocktail server Allie Wright is one of them.
As bubbly and friendly as the Champagne she loves to serve, Wright originally hails from Idaho and has been in Las Vegas—and at 1 OAK—for two years. “Spudland,” she calls her native state. “You say Idaho, and people are like, ‘Where is that?’ They get it mixed up with other places, Ohio, Iowa. It’s nice, but I wouldn’t move back now. I love it here, the 24 hours ... I have insomnia, so working in the industry is perfect for me. I couldn’t ask for anything better.”
The intimate, high-energy club at Mirage isn’t just a Wednesday-night favorite among locals and hospitality professionals. 1 OAK is also one of the Strip’s hip-hop hot spots and a natural celebrity magnet. Wright has taken care of all kinds of customers, but she won’t choose a favorite. “You can’t put me on the spot like that, I can’t have a favorite,” she says with a smile. “I feel like every night brings something different. It depends on the level of craziness. I like waiting on the athletes and singers that come in, because we really bring the service and it kinda catches them off-guard.
“Our customer service is one of the best things we bring here at 1 OAK. Everyone gets personal attention from every server here, so of course you end up having a blast.” 1 OAK at Mirage, 702-693-8300.
