Overview

  • The performer has been identified as French look-alike Dylan Desclos, who briefly lip-synced "Sorry" during DJ Gryffin’s Aug. 16 set.
  • Wynn/XS issued a lifetime ban, saying Desclos and an advance team gained access through an organized ruse.
  • Gryffin posted video acknowledging he was misled after being told Bieber wanted to perform, noting the dark, loud venue complicated verification.
  • Reports from the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Neon say Desclos’s group ran up nearly $10,000 in bottle service, which was paid before he was ejected.
  • Desclos’s manager says they attended as impersonators and performed only when asked, while Bieber has not publicly commented.
