Fake Justin Bieber Fools Fans & Staff at Wynn Las Vegas, Performs on Stage

Dylan Desclos, a 29‑year‑old Justin Bieber impersonator from France, managed to trick both staff and audience at Wynn Las Vegas that he was the real singer before he was found out and was promptly escorted away from the premises. The bizarre incident happened on August 16 in front of dozens of fans and visitors to the XS Nightclub at Wynn, and it took quite a bit of time before the trick was found out. Sporting identical tattoos, a confident demeanor, and a matching style, Desclos managed to deceive both the venue’s staff and the night’s DJ, Gryffin, who announced, “We’ve got Justin Bieber in the house!” before playing Bieber’s 2015 hit “Sorry,” as Desclos sang along. Videos on social media show how many of the fans are screaming and raising their phones to record, convinced they were witnessing a once‑in‑a‑lifetime moment. His voice didn’t quite match the real Justin Bieber’s, but he was undeniably a solid performer. It was clear that Desclos had impersonated Justin on stage multiple times before. What remains unclear is how many people inside XS had actually paid under the impression that Justin Bieber would be performing, and how many were simply present when the impersonator unexpectedly took the stage.

The stunt was uncovered not by Wynn staff, but by sharp‑eyed commenters on social media who spotted the truth in the many videos circulating online, identifying the performer as Desclos, who has been perfecting the act since 2019, when fans at a Bieber concert noted his uncanny resemblance to the pop star. By around 1:30 a.m., roughly 30 minutes after Desclos’s onstage appearance, news of the deception reached XS staff. They then promptly escorted the performer out and issued a permanent ban from all Wynn Resorts properties. Before being removed, Desclos settled the $10,000 tab for the premium bottles his group had ordered, an expense that likely would’ve been comped if he were the real Bieber. The incident proved to be a humiliating error on the part of XS Nightclub’s security and management. It has prompted internal discussions about tightening security measures. Rumors suggest that at least one staff member has been fired, with the possibility of more to come. However, Wynn Resorts has not released any official statement confirming these reports.

The impersonator didn’t stop after being removed from the venue. Outside, he was seen posing for photos with fans and being filmed by onlookers who were still convinced they’d just encountered the real Justin Bieber.
