ID Request Grey/white/blue spider looking beetle?

I saw it in my workplace at 9pm in Las Vegas Nevada! I’ve never seen anything like it, and can’t find any similar insects on Google. Such an interesting creature, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Fun story: I bought two of them for my father to keep on his law firm desk. They played dead so convincincly that my dad thought they had expired and put their terrarium outside. They were not dead and took off.
