UPDATE: A source inside the Fontainebleau confirmed that “company policy does not permit the trespassing of customers for winning, and we can confirm this was not the case in this incident.”
Casino.org was able to obtain a since-deleted advertisement for Villain Athletic Wear posted to the Facebook account of Terrence Napier, who operates the TikTok account @terrencemclaren1.
The ad, shown at right, promoted a “pop up shop” at the Fontainebleau on March 6 at from 5-9 p.m., which aligns with the scenario shown in the viral TikTok video, including one detail we missed: that two rectangular boxes on the bellman’s cart contain pop-up clothing racks used to hang clothing.
Strip resorts have strict rules against guests running businesses out of their hotel rooms — especially ones that bring foot traffic for sales into their properties.
Napier’s Facebook account responded to this article on March 19 by posting the following: “Fontainebleau Las Vegas I GOT MONEY ON MY MIND. Casino.org get yall dog on a leash “Corey Levitan.” it’s up keep talking that big shit your article is full of lies and miss information. but thanks for the promo hoe. about to go play this 600k at the Hard rock casino “
EARLIER: A guest at Fontainebleau Las Vegas posted a video claiming to show the user being ejected from his room after allegedly winning too much money.
On March 15, the TikTok account @terrencemclaren1 posted a video claiming, “Won $3,000,000.000 @Fontainebleau Las Vegas and they kicked my blk azz out,” with a text overlay.
The video shows a gentleman addressing two apparent Fontainebleau security guards who show up at his room.
The action then cuts to the valet, where two other security guards join the first two to watch a bellman deliver the man’s bag to his vehicle.

By Wednesday afternoon, the clip had 583K views and was shared by dozens of other social media sites.
“That’s how they treat winners in Las Vegas?” asked X user @culturalliteral1, who gained 121K views by reposting the video.
On Instagram, this version, reposted by an account associated with the name Algin Oliver Jr., generated more views by misidentifying itself as a CBS news report by overlaying the network’s famous eye logo over the footage.
What Really Happened?
It would be nice to learn the real reason this person was apparently ejected from the Fontainebleau. But the Fontainebleau did not immediately respond to Casino.org emails seeking comment.
Knowing why he was kicked out is not necessary to clarify this story as misrepresented, however. That’s because:
- A $3 million win is also a jackpot for any casino’s marketing department. It proves the “big win” is possible, which draws in more players. And it’s usually accompanied by a press release, not an ejection.
- Casinos prefer all big winners to stay longer and keep playing, as the edge always eventually favors the house.
The only reason this man may have been trespassed for winning is if the casino’s analytics suggested advantage play (such as card counting or edge sorting) or if the player refused to provide the required ID for federal tax reporting on large payouts.
But neither of those possibilities is likely at all, because no mention of the jackpot is made by either the man or the guards in the video. In fact, the man suspects property damage may be the reason he’s being asked to leave.
“All right, I just want to make sure so I can let y’all come in and make sure the room is not messed up or anything,” he tells the guards. “But y’all is telling me to leave based on…”
At this point, the man throws his hands up to indicate he wants them to finish the sentence for the video. One of the guards answers: “We just don’t want your services anymore, sir.”
The man turns to face the camera and asks the guards, “but not for damaging property or anything, right?”
Fontaine-bull
The video appears to be sour grapes — someone upset for being trespassed from a casino concocts a story about winning too much to make the property look bad. Several clues support this theory:
- The TikTok post’s caption ends with: “maybe it was the clothes @Villain Athletic Wear,” suggesting that the clothing brand worn by the man may have been the reason he was tossed
- Throughout the clip, the man is seen wearing a black sweatshirt made by the Texas-based streetwear company, whose TikTok handle is prominently displayed at the bottom of the video’s text overlay.
- In the final scene, the man is shown walking with a friend who carries a white sweatshirt advertising the same company.
- The TikTok account @terrencemclaren1 has only ever posted one video. In fact, the video seems to have been the reason it was created.
Neither Fontainebleau of Villain Athletic Wear immediately returned Casino.org’s emails seeking comment.
