A Justin Bieber<\/a> impersonator used his pop star-like look to his advantage over the weekend as he performed for a packed nightclub \u2014 and tricked the headlining DJ, Gryffin \u2014 at the Wynn Encore resort in Las Vegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The doppelganger \u2014 whom Gryffin dubbed \u201cbustin jieber\u201d in a social media post<\/a> \u2014 showed up to the resort\u2019s XS Nightclub, dancing in sunglasses and a hoodie that showed off his tatted chest before the DJ learned that he wished to \u201cperform,\u201d according to footage from the show shared by Gryffin.<\/p>\n

\u201cDark venue and loud music didn\u2019t help here…,\u201d wrote Gryffin as the video showed him speaking to Dylan Desclos, the man he believed to be the singer.<\/p>\n

He recalled Desclos\u2019s \u201cteam\u201d telling him that the man wanted to perform \u201cSorry<\/a>,\u201d the singer\u2019s 2015 smash hit.<\/p>\n

\u201cLittle did i know i was about to be sorry…,\u2019\u201d wrote Gryffin as the video flashed to footage of Desclos on stage as the song played while fans screamed and recorded him from the crowd<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gryffin said he then got the \u201cworst news imaginable\u201d when he learned that the man was a phony after the show.<\/p>\n

He went on to note in his hotel room that he thought the singer had \u201cput on a lot of weight\u201d since his album \u201cSWAG<\/a>\u201d dropped last month.<\/p>\n

Michael Weaver, a spokesperson for the Wynn, later explained to media outlets that the man was \u201cgranted access\u201d to the XS stage following what the resort described as an \u201celaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry,\u201d Weaver wrote of the lifetime ban in a statement.<\/p>\n

Outside of the nightclub, social media clips showed the man browsing several stores with \u201csecurity\u201d guards and posing for selfies during his Vegas trip.<\/p>\n

Last year, he caught the attention of Bieber\u2019s wife, Hailey Bieber, after he was spotted on the train<\/a> in his native country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m scared\u2026.,\u201d she commented on a TikTok of the impersonator.<\/p>\n
