Bieber impersonator takes XS Nightclub stage at Wynn Las Vegas through elaborate ruse

LAS VEGAS ( FOX5 ) — A man posing as pop star Justin Bieber got onstage at XS nightclub inside Wynn Las Vegas through an elaborate ruse involving an “advance team,” officials told FOX5.

Officials from Wynn Las Vegas told FOX5 that a man gained access to the XS nightclub stage on Saturday. A spokesperson said he got onstage through an “elaborate and multi-step ruse,” adding that an “advance team” was involved in helping the Bieber lookalike get onstage.

Reports from TMZ indicated that the nightclub’s DJ was told the pop star was in town and wanted to make a surprise appearance.

Wynn officials told FOX5 the impersonator was removed from the resort and banned from future entry after the error was recognized, but not before performing onstage for a large crowd, according to TMZ.
