A man has been permanently banned from a chain of luxury hotels and resorts in Las Vegas after pulling off a daring stunt — convincing staff at “XS Nightclub” that he was pop superstar “Justin Bieber”.
According to “Daily Mail”, the impersonator and his team carried out an “elaborate, multi-step ruse” that fooled club officials into believing Bieber was in the building. He was even allowed on stage to perform in the singer’s name, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
Even “DJ Gryffin”, who was on duty that night, admitted on Instagram that he fell for the act, welcoming the fake Bieber into his booth before the truth surfaced.
“As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry,” Wynn officials confirmed to “TMZ”.
The bizarre incident has since gone viral, with social media users joking that in Las Vegas, “a little celebrity resemblance goes a long way.”
