WATCH as a Justin Bieber lookalike tricks a Vegas nightclub into letting him perform on stage and run up a $10,000 bar tab.
Staff and party-goers at the five-star Wynn Las Vegas were convinced that scammer Dylan Desclos, 29, was the real
Canadian pop star.

LA-based DJ Gryffin was performing at XS Nightclub, and was told that Bieber, 31, was in town, reports TMZ.
He heard that the superstar wanted to perform at his Saturday night show – and readily agreed, inviting him into the DJ booth.
Videos posted to social media show the shirtless, tattooed fake singing and dancing on stage in front of a packed crowd.
Almost everyone is recording the moment on their phones and appear totally fooled.
He belts out Bieber’s hit Sorry and prances around, always wearing a pair of dark glasses.
The DJ is also completely oblivious, hyping up the prankster from behind the decks.
Another clip shows adoring fans clamouring to snap a selfie with Desclos.
A fake security team was in tow, and the group wandered around splashing cash at shops and behind the bar.
The impersonator got through a couple of tracks before staff clocked onto the ruse and booted him off stage.
Gryffin saw the funny side of the saga and documented how it unfolded on Instagram.
He posted a series of clips along with his version of events, dubbing the faker “Bustin Jeiber”.
Gryffin wrote: “How Bustin Jeiber duped me during me own set. How I ended up in this situation.
“It started when Bustin Jeiber showed up to the club and I was told he wanted to perform.
“Dark venue and loud music didn’t help here.
“So his ‘team’ said he wanted to perform Sorry. Little did I know I was about to be sorry…
“The place went wild, and after 4 minutes and 27 seconds of what sounded like Justin Bieber, I found out the worst news imaginable.
“COMPLETE FAKE. NO WAY.”
At the end of the video, Gryffin said: “I literally thought, ‘He’s put on a lot of weight since the album dropped.’”
A rep for Wynn and XS Nightclub told TMZ: “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.”
Desclos eventually paid the tab he and his gang racked up.
