Las Vegas nightlife saw an unexpected twist over the weekend when a man impersonating Justin Bieber managed to sneak onto the stage at XS Nightclub. The bold intruder, dressed in dark shades and styled strikingly similar to the Canadian pop superstar, fooled partygoers for a few moments before grabbing the microphone to perform Bieber’s chart-topping hit “Sorry.”
For a brief moment, the nightclub erupted with excitement. Some guests cheered, screamed, and even pulled out their phones to capture what they believed was an unexpected performance from Bieber himself. Others quickly grew skeptical, pointing out that while the man looked convincing from afar, his voice and stage presence were not quite on par with the global superstar.
The performance, however, didn’t last long. Security quickly realized something was wrong and rushed onto the stage, cutting the music and escorting the wannabe singer out as confused fans watched.
According to sources at the venue, the man had slipped past staff and used his uncanny resemblance to Bieber to charm his way into the spotlight. But before leaving, the man ran up a $10K tab.
“He really carried himself with confidence, and for a second, we thought it was actually him,” said one attendee. “It was crazy, people were screaming, but then you realized—this is not Justin Bieber.”
While the incident may have been entertaining to some, XS Nightclub wasn’t amused. Management has since confirmed that the impersonator has been permanently banned from the venue. Security officials also noted that tighter checks will be enforced to prevent similar stunts in the future.
Social media clips of the stunt have since circulated online, sparking mixed reactions. Some fans found it hilarious, while others called it “embarrassing” and “desperate.” One user joked, “Imagine getting banned for life just because you wanted to be Justin Bieber for five minutes.”
As for the real Justin Bieber, he was nowhere near Las Vegas at the time of the stunt, but the bizarre incident proves just how powerful celebrity impersonation can be—especially in a city where anything can happen.
At the end of the night, what started as a bold attempt to live like a pop star ended in embarrassment, a lifetime ban, and a nightclub story that will be remembered for years to come.
