The latest attraction (?) to hit the Sphere in Las Vegas is an anti-abortion activist, who was arrested Wednesday, Feb. 7, after climbing to the top of the venue.
Las Vegas police confirmed the climber had been arrested around 11:30 a.m. local time after responding to reports of “an individual scaling a building near the 200 block of Sands Avenue.” The Lvmpd later identified the climber as 24-year-old Maison DesChamps, who nicknamed himself “Pro-Life Spider-Man” and seems to do this thing a lot.
Now he's trying to figure out how to get back down pic.

U2 are due to play at the Sphere this evening as part of their run of shows coinciding with the Super Bowl. Phish and Dead & Company also have...
