Las Vegas has seen its fair share of wild nights, but this past Saturday might take the cake. A Justin Bieber impersonator pulled off an outrageous stunt at the Wynn Las Vegas, tricking staff and even DJ Gryffin into believing he was the real Biebs, before storming the stage for a surprise performance at XS Nightclub.
According to TMZ, the incident unfolded when word spread through the Wynn that Justin Bieber was in town and ready to treat fans to a pop-up performance. Club staff and Gryffin himself believed the story, largely thanks to the impersonator’s uncanny look and his so-called “advance team” who played the part of Bieber’s entourage.
The club’s high-energy atmosphere worked in the impostor’s favor. In the chaos of flashing lights, VIP buzz, and packed crowds, he passed as the Canadian superstar with surprising ease. The ruse was nearly complete when Gryffin welcomed him into the DJ booth.
From VIP Booth to Center Stage
Once inside, the fake Bieber went all in. He hit the stage, belting out several of Justin’s hits while fans screamed and phones flew into the air to capture the moment. XS Nightclub became a full-blown Bieber concert for a few minutes, but it wasn’t.
The performance quickly gained traction inside the club, with partygoers hyped that they had just witnessed a surprise Justin Bieber set. But behind the scenes, Wynn staff started piecing things together and realized they had been duped.
The Quick Takedown
Security swiftly intervened once the impersonator’s cover was blown. The Wynn and XS Nightclub acted fast, escorting him out of the venue and ensuring he wouldn’t make an encore anytime soon.
In a statement to TMZ, a Wynn rep said: “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.”
What’s Next for the Fake Biebs?
The impersonator reportedly isn’t facing criminal charges, though being blacklisted from one of Vegas’s most iconic resorts is punishment enough. Still, the story raises significant questions about venue security and how a clever con artist can slip through even the tightest systems in Sin City.
While Las Vegas thrives on spectacle, this particular stunt was unexpected even by its high standards. For one surreal night, fans thought they got Justin Bieber in the flesh, only to discover it was an audacious look-alike with just enough swagger to sell the dream.
The real Bieber has yet to comment, but the next time someone shows up at XS claiming to be him, staff will be doing a double-take.
