Las Vegas Hotel Vdara an Accidental Death Ray

evanism writes "A hotel in Las Vegas is accidentally designed to be a massive parabolic dish that focuses the suns rays into a death ray! Burns hair, plastic and causes pain." It apparently lasts for several minutes during afternoons of bright sunlight, but if you need to perform science on it, you better hurry since they plan to ruin/fix it.

Too much money to fix, thing outside the box

you better hurry since they plan to ruin/fix it.

Rather than paying the incredible expense of re-engineering the hotel's windows they should just rename. Simply change the stationary and signage to "L'Hotel du Auschwitz".

Hey, they could offer free tatoos, too. Tell people that they're lucky numbers.

They could take the Steve Jobs approach and just tell customers to avoid being in the hot zone

Or rent it out

They could rent it out to a couple of boys to raise cattle.

After all, your beginners science class taught that "focus" is where the sons raise meat.

They could set up an infrared camera...

Damn engineers and their overcomplicated solutions. Why can't people just look for where the smoke and smell of charred human flesh is coming from?

One pun over the edge

[antifoidulus]

Alright... that's it, that pun has to be paid for in blood...everybody dies.... I mean "Come on everyone, I'm taking you all to Vegas"

Wouldn't the simplest solution be to post a warning?

"Do not look into hotel with remaining eye."
