Gryffin, a DJ, recounts a moment where he thought Justin Bieber joined him on stage to perform during his Las Vegas set, but later discovered it was an impersonator. Gryffin shared the incident with The National, highlighting the surprise and confusion that ensued. The impersonator's performance was convincing enough to initially fool Gryffin and the audience.

In a surprising turn of events, a Justin Bieber impersonator recently tricked his way onto the stage of the XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas, performing in front of an unsuspecting crowd while DJ Gryffin was mid-set. The incident, which occurred on Aug. 16, 2025, left the DJ and the audience both bewildered and entertained.

The impersonator, identified as Dylan Desclos, managed to convince the nightclub staff that he was the real Justin Bieber, leading to an impromptu performance of Bieber's hit song "Sorry." Desclos, along with his team, orchestrated an elaborate ruse that involved posing as Bieber's entourage and security. The deception was so convincing that Gryffin initially thought he was performing with the real Bieber.

The nightclub's management quickly realized the deception and removed Desclos from the premises. The impersonator had run up a bar tab of nearly $10,000 during his stay, which he eventually paid. The Wynn has since banned Desclos from their properties for life, stating that the incident was a result of a multi-step ruse [1].

Gryffin shared his experience on Instagram, where he recounted the incident and described the moment he discovered the truth. "Little did I know I was about to be sorry," he wrote in the caption of his video [2]. The DJ's video also shows him being informed of the impersonation after the performance, highlighting the surprise and confusion that ensued.

The incident serves as a reminder of the power of social media and the lengths some individuals will go to for a moment of fame. While the impersonator's actions were ultimately exposed, the incident showcases the potential for deception in the entertainment industry.
