Yes, guests at Vdara hotel in Las Vegas now have something else to worry about: being burned alive by the glare of the building's "death ray."
What the heck's a "death ray," you ask? Well, first off, it's not as deadly as it sounds, since no one has actually died from it -- at least not yet. But according to the U.K. Daily Mail, the powerful beams of Nevada sunlight reflecting off the glass hotel onto sections of the hotel's swimming pool area have burned some guests and have melted plastic bags.

It is definitely inconvenient to have your skin burned and your hair melted.

i Hung out in the sun by the pool for about 45 minutes once in Las Vegas.
I got the worst frigging burn of my life.
Every time i cracked a sweat it was like 10,000 needles going into my skin.
Never again.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Someone will fall asleep by the pool, get seriously burnt and complain that signs were not posted- thus a lawsuit.

Yeah, but then they have to tax it for the health care bill.

My favorite movie line. I think of it every time I see Nancy Pelosi and the Congress.

” If it is marketed as a tanning feature, Obama will slap a 10% tax on all hotel guests. “
In order to counter objections that this action would reduce business for the hotel, he will tax all non-guests 15%.
