And I bet you think death-rays are still science fiction :D
"Guests at the new Vdara hotel have been complaining that because of an architectural flaw on the glass skyscraper, the sun's rays are being magnified and reflected onto an area of the pool, causing severe burns. There have been reports that even plastic has melted from the heat.
Bill Pintas almost lost some hair from his experience with the hot spot."
from ABC news website. There is, I'm afraid an annoying and un-related video piece on the same page.

Cuts down on the pool heating costs.

They should market this as the ultimate health spa - you get a quick tan while enjoying a sauna/hot-tub, and if you wait till 2pm it turns into a jacuzi (as the water boils!) :lol:
