My Plan for World Domination (and awesome buffets) is Nearly Complete!

Uh, so, if you go to Las Vegas on vacation, you may not want to spend much time by the pool relaxing. Not if you're staying at the Vdara hotel, anyway. It seems the hotel has a death ray that can cook a tourist in under a minute.

Ok, that's not entirely true, but there is a death ray. Sunlight reflects off concave design of the hotel's glass windows and focuses on an area poolside. So far it has burned some guests and... wait for it... melted plastic bags. Oh no!

The hotel is placing larger umbrellas in the pool area while designers try to come up with a remedy

A remedy? WHY???? They could totally market this! I have three little boys who would love me forever if I let them stay in a hotel where they could MELT THINGS by the pool when they got bored with attempts at drowning their poor parents.

It sounds like a good old fashioned family establishment to me.

Is no place safe for plastic bags?

Holy crap!

Amy - I hadn't considered that approach! Alos, it IS Vegas, you could build a show around it! Daily meltings of different awesome things! Today an iPod, tomorrow a Prius!

Aaron - Someday, my friend. Through hard work and understanding, we'll live in a world where plastic bags can roam free - to tumble across highways, play in updrafts and lounge safely by a pool. Someday.

Natalie - Well put! What happens in Vegas... hurts.
