A man posing as Justin Bieber took the stage at XS Nightclub in Las Vegas, racking up a staggering $10,000 bar tab in the process.
The incident unfolded at the Wynn Las Vegas during a performance by DJ Gryffin. Staff members were led to believe that the real Bieber was in town and wanted to surprise the audience. Gryffin, unaware of the deception, welcomed the impersonator into the DJ booth.
Footage circulating on social media captures the shirtless, tattooed individual—identified as 29-year-old Dylan Desclos—singing Bieber's hit "Sorry" to an unsuspecting crowd. The audience appeared completely oblivious to the fact that they were witnessing a performance by an impersonator.
Desclos managed to sing several songs before club staff caught on and escorted him off the stage. Gryffin later humorously referred to the incident as "Beibergate" in an Instagram post, noting that the dim lighting and loud music contributed to the confusion.
In a video shared online, Gryffin expressed his disbelief, stating, "I literally thought, 'he's put on a lot of weight since the album dropped.'" This comment highlighted the absurdity of the situation.
Additional clips show Desclos mingling with fans and taking selfies while flanked by individuals he claimed were his security team. The group’s extravagant night out culminated in a nearly $10,000 bar tab, which Desclos settled before being removed from the venue.
Desclos has built a reputation for impersonating Bieber, even going so far as to replicate some of the pop star's tattoos and hairstyle. His antics have previously drawn attention from Bieber's wife, Hailey, who expressed concern after spotting him in a TikTok video.
The nightclub issued a statement regarding the incident, explaining that Desclos had executed an elaborate ruse to gain access to the stage. "As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry," a representative for Wynn and XS Nightclub confirmed.
As of now, there has been no response from Desclos' representatives regarding this incident.
