Last Saturday, July 22 reality show star Scott Disick returned to host at his his favorite Vegas nightspot, 1 OAK Nightclub inside The Mirage Hotel & Casino.

Kicking off the evening’s festivities, Disick and a group of friends dined at STACK Restaurant & Bar for dinner where they were seated in the Private Dining Room as they dined on a delicious variety of STACK’s signature dishes and cocktails.

Before heading into the club shortly before midnight, Disick stopped on the carpet right outside the nightspot to pose for photographers. The reality star looked handsome and stylish in a long sleeve blue shirt, green camouflage pants and sneakers.

Making his way inside, Disick was greeted by several fans who screamed his name as the star walked by. The lord was seated at a VIP table located behind the DJ Booth where DJ Que was laying down popular tracks for the packed room.

Upon arrival, Disick was welcomed by a parade of beautiful cocktail waitresses who surrounded the table, holding up signs that spelt out his name. The star was all smiles as he posed for photos, sipped on cocktails and socialized with friends.

Shortly after his arrival, Disick got on the microphone and pumped up the crowd before continuing to party in true Vegas fashion.

Earlier in the day, the star also enjoyed some time in the Vegas sun at LIQUID Pool Lounge at ARIA Resort & Casino. Arriving around 3 p.m. with an intimate group of friends, Disick was greeted by a sold-out crowd within the premiere venue as members of the LIQUID staff held up letters proclaiming his coveted Instagram handle, "@LetTheLordBeWithYou."

The reality television star, who was dressed causally in dark swim trunks and a gray t-shirt, was initially brought to a VIP table near the DJ booth, where he interacted with fans and took several photos.

Amaze Your Friends With These Fab Tequila Drinks W/VIVA XXXII Tequila

VIVA Summer Solstice

Celebrate the best part of what summer has to offer with National Tequila Day on July 24, 2017. Because great tequila is for more than just margaritas, VIVA XXXII Tequila collaborated with top mixologists from NYC and LA for their signature cocktails. Bringing a premium sipping tequila to the market at an attainable price point, VIVA XXXII contains two varietals: a Joven and a Reposado. The Joven ($40) is an estate grown 100% blue agave blanco, meticulously blended with our 3-year-old extra anejo. The Reposado ($45) is estate grown and rested for 6 months in new American Oak barrels. The best part? The brand donates 10% of net proceeds to animal abuse prevention charities.

VIVA Summer Solstice by TocaMadera (8450 W 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90048)

2 oz. of VIVA XXXII Reposado Tequila
1 oz. of Citrus Mix (equal parts lemon and lime)
¾ oz. of Aperol Spiked Agave Syrup (3:1 Agave Nectar to Aperol). You could also do 1/2 normal Agave Syrup and 1/4 Aperol
Tajin Rim
Directions: Place all ingredients into a shaker, add ice, and give a long hard shake. Take a coupe glass and rim with a salt/pepper/tajin mix. Double strain the cocktail (to remover ice chips) in the coupe and garnish will a rolled Grapefruit peel “flower".
Tasting Notes:  The balance of summer in a glass: bright, refreshing and with just a bit of heat. This cocktail hits all of the major palate areas. It is tart, sweet, earthy, and just a bit spicy. It is perfect for sipping away the long nights of summer.

VIVA Rip Tide 

VIVA Rip Tide by Seamore’s (390 Broome St, New York, NY 10013)

2 oz. VIVA XXXII Reposado Tequila
1 oz. Fresh Juiced Pineapple
½ oz. Fresh Lime Juice
½ oz. Agave Syrup (3:1 Agave to Water)
Directions: Place all ingredients into a shaker and give a short “dry” shake. Then, add crushed ice to shaker. Pour ice and cocktail into a highball glass and top with a float of Angostura Bitters and Pineapple Frond.
Tasting Notes: TIKI Tequila! The freshness of the juices is what brings out the natural flavors of the tequila here. A slight bit on the sweet side, it won’t leave you with a tooth ache, but rather aching for another. The softer more rounded flavor notes of the Reposado Tequila dance in this cocktail.

VIVA Crisp

VIVA Crisp made by Chris Kramer @celebratedspirits of The Larchmont (5750 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038)

2 oz. VIVA XXXII Joven Tequila
3 fresh slices of Cucumber
2-3 fresh slices of Jalapeno (deseed to control spice factor)
¾ oz. Agave Syrup
Directions: Place all in a tin and lightly muddle. Do not crush ingredients just press to express oils and flavors. Add ice and give a short and soft shake. Pour all into a Double Old-Fashioned Glass. Garnish with some something fresh and fragrant. We use a lime peel and cucumber wheel. But a large basil sprig is also recommended.
Tasting Notes: This is a very fresh and big cocktail. The cucumber and Jalapeño serve as the stage for the bright notes of the tequila to shine through. The agave gives the cocktail balance. It’s a garden in a glass!

VIVA Tourist

Tasting Notes: Like any good trip, this cocktail is an experience. It has big mouth presence and will linger in your mouth and memory like any good vacation. The lime, pineapple, and almond give a nice tropical vibe while the Joven and the Jalapeno jump in, keeping the drink from getting to sweet. The mezcal comes in right at the end for a lasting, smokey finish.

Tasting notes: Peaches and tequila are quite a pair. The bright citrus notes in the Joven latch onto the fresh peach and take off running. The cinnamon and rosemary are there to help balance out the flavor profile adding some spice and bitter earthy qualities. It’s refreshing, different, and will leave you asking for another. It’s not as crazy as a Vegas shotgun wedding but it is as good of a time!

Tasting Notes: This drink is cool under pressure. The fresh herbs and citrus are bright and refreshing giving this drink an almost cooling sensation. The Joven stands as the backbone giving the drink just the right amount of heat. It’s familiar and different all at the same time. No peer pressure here but seriously be cool.
