The peeing-boy statue known as Manneken Pis LV participates in many Vegas celebrations: wearing hockey attire for games, dressing for music festivals and donning a tux for New Year’s Eve. But one group partied too hard for the cheeky sculpture last weekend, knocking it off its perch outside a downtown hotel and casino.
Derek Stevens, who owns the D Las Vegas — and the sculpture — mourned its fate on Twitter this week, posting a video of the downfall.
“He never did anything to anybody!” Stevens wrote. “He just smiled & aimed to please day and night.”
The 500-pound sculpture has been around since 2015; it is a somewhat larger reproduction of the much older Manneken-Pis in Brussels, where Stevens’s family is from.
