Death Ray at Aria
(there's a lot to be said about mortar & stone)
Uh-huh!
Tourists are complaining about a curious phenomenon that rears it's ugly head, shortly after they stretch out poolside, to catch a few rays in the desert oasis.
Though swabbed in a myriad of pricey skin-soothing sun-tan lotions - specifically-designed to effect a healthy glow - they often fall prey to a nasty disturbance on the skin because of a glare from the Aria shell which some are referring to as the ominous "Death Ray".
Owners of the architectural gem have confessed that the harsh assault from above is due to the architectural gem's conclave shape and glass outer shell - that reflects the sun - and ultimately casts the potentially-dangerous spectre of the "death ray" on unsuspecting sun worshippers below.
According to witneses, there is enough intense heat generated, to melt plastic bags and burn guests.
Residents of Los Angeles may recall that a similar problem erupted downtown shortly after the celebrated Walt Disney Concert Hall (designed by Frank Gehry) was unveiled.
The "cool" imaginative angles and highly reflective surfaces caused similar “death ray” effects, which were later corrected, after a barrage of complaints (and headaches suffered by the builders in the wake of the controversy).
In the case of Las Vegas - and an intense Desert Sun - one has to seriously wonder about the long term health risks levelled at innocent sunbathers clueless about the dangers as they loll about under a carefree cloudless sky.
