New Las Vegas hotel’s unintentional ‘death ray’ is a design flaw | DVICE

As if the sun didn’t make things hot enough on its own in the Las Vegas desert, the newly opened Vdara hotel is giving it a helping hand. Turns out the hotel’s concave, all-glass facade is giving the sun’s rays a little more focus — enough to burn guests and melt plastic bags.

Now, the “death ray” hasn’t claimed any victims (yet!), though the staff of the hotel has termed it such because of the intense spots of heat its sending down into areas of the hotel’s pool. According to the UK’s Daily Mail, one guest was left with “severe burns.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
