O.J. Simpson denies claim he was kicked out of Las Vegas hotel

O.J. Simpson was reportedly removed from a Las Vegas casino early Thursday morning for unruly behavior.
Las Vegas police were contacted just after midnight on Thursday about an a drunk and disorderly guest at the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Simpson reportedly was upset with hotel staff and broke glasses during the dispute.

Simpson's lawyer, Malcolm LaVergne, said that the story about Simpson being drunk at The Cosmopolitan Hotel is completely untrue.

Simpson is challenging anyone with proof that he was drunk and belligerent to come forward. He is also taking steps to make sure that his probation officer is clear about what happened.
Simpson was released from prison last month ...
As part of his parole, Simpson is allowed to consume alcohol, but not to excess — meaning he cannot test higher than .08 on a blood-alcohol level.

Cosmopolitan Hotel still has not issued a statement in regards to the incident ... the hotel-casino has the right to ban anyone they want for any reason.

There are no reports of Simpson being arrested following the incident.

I despise the Cosmopolitan.

Oh, for the good old days when small joints with character -- like the Boardwalk -- occupied that section of the Strip.
