Guests at the Vdara hotel in Las Vegas are complaining about getting cooked to a crisp. The hotel is a glass skyscraper, and the way it reflects the sun magnifies the rays, raising temps on areas it hits by as much as 20 to 30 degrees. The result can cause plastic cups and plastic newspaper bags to melt, and it's definitely not comfortable to have it on you sizzling you up. The hotel is aware of the problem and is trying to deal with it, namely by putting out more umbrellas. Definitely a good reason to check out the online reviews before booking a hotel.

Lets build a great big one of these babies over our mid-east Arab friends and make em' all nice and comfy. With all of that oil they have, Americans could have a really nice cook-out and our soldiers could come home.
This is actually funny as it sounds. But on a more serious note, didn't the architects and engineers test the glass windows before opening the hotel for public?
