Justin Bieber impersonator dupes Vegas nightclub security, performs for hoodwinked crowd

Seeing is Beliebing. A Justin Bieber impersonator tricked Las Vegas nightclub security into letting him perform several of the pop star's songs on stage — before they realized who he was and booted him from the venue. Several clubgoers shared images and videos on social media of the imitator, Dylan Desclos, singing to a lively crowd at XS Nightclub, located inside the Wynn Las Vegas, Saturday night. The evening's headliner, DJ Gryffin, documented the scam in a video posted to his Instagram Story, in which he explained that he was alerted that Bieber was in the building before inviting him on stage to perform. 'How Bustin Jieber duped me during my own set,' Gryffin captioned the clip, referring to the mimicker. 'Dark venue and loud music didn't help here…' the DJ joked, while showing himself chatting with Desclos before the look-alike took to the mic. The audience appeared to be completely hoodwinked as they were dancing and filming the imposter on their camera phones. Gryffin said that the people posing as Bieber's entourage informed him that the pop star wanted to perform his song, 'Sorry,' and that 'after 4 minutes and 27 seconds of what sounded like Justin Bieber…I found out the worst news imaginable.' 'Complete fake,' Gryffin said. A disappointed fan dragged Desclos' deception, reportedly writing on social media, 'To get the EXACT same tattoos as Justin Bieber and come to a nightclub and try to scam $10,000 worth of bottles off a casino is psychotic …' Desclos' official TikTok account responded in a since-deleted post, 'For your information, it wasn't me who pretended to be the real Justin, it was my team who was behind it. Well, clearly I was the one who passed but I always say I'm the lookalike …' The fake pop star and his crew ran up a tab of nearly $10,000 on bottle service at the nightclub, which he paid before being kicked out of the venue, Review Journal's Neon Las Vegas reported. A Page Six spy, who partied next to Desclos' table, knew something was not right by the looks of his young team. 'I sensed some suspicion when everyone that he was with did not look Hollywood at all and looked like a group of Gen Z's,' the tipster told us via email Tuesday. Desclos — who hails from Normandy, France, and has been impersonating the 'Peaches' singer for nearly eight years — has been banned for life from entering Wynn Resorts. '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,' a spokesperson for the resort confirmed in a statement to Yahoo! News. Page Six has reached out to the nightclub for comment. Solve the daily Crossword
