Content creator climbs Las Vegas Sphere in shocking scene to ‘raise money’ for homeless pregnant woman
An online content creator has been taken into custody after he climbed to the top of the Las Vegas Sphere to raise money for a homeless pregnant woman Wednesday.
Maison Des Champs was detained by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Wednesday after climbing Vegas’ newest attraction.
The self-proclaimed skyscraper climber was seen standing on top of the structure in jaw-dropping images.
Des Champs took to his Facebook to post a video of him on the dome, where he was seen wearing a white hoodie, sunglasses, and a camera on top of his head.
The native Las Vegan said he climbed the structure to “raise money for a mother named Isabel.”
“She is homeless and pregnant and needs help,” he said in the video.
The thrill-seeker also revealed Las Vegas Police are making him “go through the top” to get down from the Sphere.
Several people were also temporarily detained, according to KTNV.
