In a heart-stopping turn of events, Caesars Palace on Las Vegas's glitzy strip was the hilarious (or horrifying, depending on your perspective) venue for a remarkable rescue mission on Tuesday. Two lucky souls found themselves in an elevator that got stuck, plunging them into a suspenseful ordeal, all thanks to an unfortunate power outage on the property.
The elevator took a dramatic dip around high noon, finding itself suspended in one of the towers after the power outage, as per the Clark County Fire Department's reports.
Firefighters, on the scene, discovered the dangling elevator with its passengers trapped a few feet below their usual landing spot, Assistant Fire Chief Brian O'Neal divulged in a press statement.
The rescue team sprung into action, opening the elevator doors, securing it to prevent further movement, and helping the individuals escape using a ladder, explained O'Neal.
