Vegas Death Ray Chars Tourists

Las Vegas has a pyramid, the Eiffel Tower, and now with the opening of the Vdara hotel, a replica of Archimedes Death Ray.  The South facing tower, with it's reflective glass exterior, produces a 10X15 foot "death ray" directly on the hotel pool below.  The temperature of the beam is so hot, it has been causing 2nd degree burns, singeing hair and melting plastic bags, cups and flip flops.

Temperatures in the hot spot have been said to be between 120 and 160 Fahrenheit.  A spokesman for the MGM Grand, the company that owns the property, say they're currently working on a solution.  They have tried to downplay the recent incidents, but recent reports cannot bode well for the hotel, as it already has a disadvantage over other hotels on the Strip.  The Vdara has no casino, no nightclubs and is completely smoke free.  It is a beautiful hotel though.
