Las Vegas "Death Ray" spikes surface temps up to 160F [71C]

quote:

Bill Pintas was vacationing in Las Vegas when he decided to stay at the swank new Vdara hotel, a curvy 57-story tower owned by MGM Resorts. He was sitting at the pool when he encountered something alarming. He recalls, "I'm sitting there in the chair and all of the sudden my hair and the top of my head are burning. I'm rubbing my head and it felt like a chemical burn. I couldn't imagine what it could be." ... The "death ray" appears to be created by the glass surface of the hotel itself -- acting as a concentrating parabolic dish -- similar to those used to heat water to a boil in solar power systems. The dish concentrates light on a 10-foot by 15-foot hot zone moving across the pool. Temperatures in this area spike 20 degrees Fahrenheit -- or more.

Beer

Yes, an immense magnifying lense to capture the reflected light and humanely re-direct it toward rival hotels. That's the greenest option.

Find where the focal point is, build a house there, leave the gas on.

This

The way those guys hit those flyers on their hand is hilarious.
Finally we decided to grab as many as possible while we jumped from hotel to hotel, whomever had the most at the next one, had to buy the first round

PS: Anything that needs to be burned with fire should be brought there
