In a surprising turn of events, a Justin Bieber impersonator managed to trick his way onto the stage of a Las Vegas nightclub after successfully duping the staff of the establishment, as well as the DJ performing at the event. However, his prank soon came to light, with the nightclub executives proceeding to remove and ban him from the club in the aftermath of the incident.
Fake Justin Bieber performs at nightclub, gets banned
On August 16, Saturday, a man named Dylan Desclos was able to deceive the XS Nightclub team at the Wynn resort in Las Vegas into believing that he was the real Justin Bieber. After gaining entry into the club’s exclusive area, the Bieber impersonator decided to extend his stunt and tricked DJ Gryffin, the talent who was performing at the venue for the night, into allowing him on the stage for a brief act.
Recalling the bizarre incident, DJ Gryffin took to Instagram to share how the prankster ended up fooling him as well as the entire XS Nightclub staff. The artist noted that after securing entry into the booth of the Las Vegas club, the “Never Say Never” singer imitator’s “team” approached Gryffin with a request to allow him to do a surprise performance.
Gryffin excitedly welcomed the man on stage, where the latter proceeded to sing Bieber’s hit single “Sorry” in front of a packed crowd. Despite having a decent voice, the impersonator wasn’t able to carry on his scam for long, with the Las Vegas nightclub staff soon realizing that he was not who he claimed to be. As a result, the hotel management soon removed him from the venue, even imposing a ban on him for his antics.
A spokesperson for Wynn and XS Nightclub has since given an official comment regarding the incident to TMZ, stating, “After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage. As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.”
