Justin Bieber, or rather a life-like wax replica of the teen pop star, will be invading Las Vegas for an extended residency starting next week.
The wax figure of Bieber will join a collection of other celebrities, athletes and cultural icons at Madame Tussauds at the Venetian.
The statue, featuring Bieber wearing a black vest with his hands tucked into the pockets of his Balenciaga pants, will be unveiled at a special event next Wednesday. Children from the Boys and Girls Clubs also will be at the event to see the unveiling of a Bieber-inspired T-shirt they helped design.
According to a statement from Madame Tussauds, Bieber played a role in the design of his figure, spending time with a team of studio artists over the course of four months.
The figure will be on display from Jan. 25 to March 4.
Adult tickets to the wax museum are $25 at the door, with tickets for children ages 7 to 12 costing $15.
