  We explore the potential for the discovery of a dilaton
$\mathcal{O}(200-500)$ GeV in a classical scale/conformal invariant extension
of the Standard Model by investigating the size of the corresponding breaking
scale $\Lambda$ at the LHC, extending a previous analysis. In particular, we
address the recent bounds on $\Lambda$ derived from Higgs boson searches. We
investigate if such a dilaton can be produced via gluon-gluon fusion,
presenting rates for its decay either into a pair of Higgs bosons or into two
heavy gauge bosons, which can give rise to multi-leptonic final states. A
detailed analysis via PYTHIA-FastJet has been carried out of the dominant
Standard Model backgrounds, at a centre of mass energy of 14 TeV. We show that
early data of $\sim 20$ fb$^{-1}$ can certainly probe the region of parameter
space where such a dilaton is allowed. A conformal scale of 5 TeV is allowed by
the current data, for almost all values of the dilaton mass investigated.
