OJ Simpson was allegedly ejected from a bar in a top-flight Las Vegas hotel on Wednesday night after he became ‘drunk and unruly’.
The disgraced ex-football player, who was released in October after serving nine years of a 33-year robbery and kidnapping sentence, was spotted in Clique, a bar in The Strip’s Cosmopolitan hotel, TMZ reported.
But the 70-year-old was ejected by security after becoming ‘wasted’ – leading to glasses being broken, hotel staff said.

The site reports that the ex-NFL player – whose full name is Orenthal James Simpson – has been spotted at bars around the city since his October 2 release.
But on Wednesday, staff at the elaborately appointed bar – where cocktails cost $25-30 and a bottle of Louis Roederer Cristal champagne $975 – said he became angry at them and turned disruptive, leading to hotel security being called.
Simpson was reportedly ‘polite’ to the security team when they arrived, but was still told that he was now barred from the hotel.
TMZ also obtained what is claimed to be a recording of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department dispatch talking to an officer on Wednesday night.
At the start of the clip, a voice asks for confirmation that OJ is at the Cosmopolitan.
‘Orenthal’s here,’ says another voice, ‘correction: the location. He’s actually sitting inside the bar. He was asking about the pizza shop.’
OJ apparently continued visiting Las Vegas’s attractions; early on Thursday morning, sports broadcaster Brian Munz tweeted a photo of OJ walking through an unnamed casino’s lobby.

The ex-con who is living in a $1.8 million home in Vegas, has been seen partying on the Strip several times since he left prison.
On October 8, around a week after his release, he was seen ordering a Bloody Mary at Wahoos Fish Taco restaurant in the city.
Later in the month, he posed with bikini-clad models Laura Saucedo and Brendoll for Instagram.
He has also been golfing and lounging by the pool at the mansion in which he is staying.
