Fire crews, pilots test rescue skills at High Roller — PHOTOS

Faces could be seeing gawking skyward near the Strip on Thursday morning.

There was no problem or rescue underway.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Air Support and Search and Rescue Section was working a training exercise with the Las Vegas Fire Department.

Review-Journal photographer Erik Verduzco captured these images.
