Bieber Impersonator Given Life Ban by Wynn Las Vegas

A Justin Bieber impersonator gained unanticipated access to XS Nightclub at the Wynn Las Vegas Encore this past weekend, performing on stage in front of a packed crowd after convincing staff he was the pop star. The stunt, described by the venue and by the performing DJ as an elaborate multi-step ruse carried out with a full entourage, ended with the impersonator removed from the property and banned from all Wynn properties. The episode has reignited questions about how venues verify the identity and presence of high-profile guests before allowing them to appear onstage.

The impersonator, identified by followers as Dylan Desclos, targeted a highly selective Las Vegas environment known for its prestige and tight control over guest access. Officials said the impersonator and his team projected themselves as Bieber’s entourage, a plan that culminated in a live set at XS while the headlining DJ Gryffin believed he was sharing the stage with the real artist. Gryffin recounted that he was alerted to Bieber’s supposed appearance and welcomed the impersonator into the booth before the truth emerged. Once staff recognized the deception, the impersonator was ejected and barred from reentry.
