While it's been said that any news is good news, a global media onslaught concerning what's been termed a 'death ray' has hit a Las Vegas Vdara condo hotel in a broadside of publicity.

Widely circulated press reports have recounted a bizarre natural phenomenon of high powered bursts of sunlight coming off the glass building exterior.

While the designers of the project had taken an unconventional approach with a concave design, sharp blades of blinding light has been said to melt plastic bags, and create burning sensations on people passing by the property.

By all accounts the name 'death ray' has entered the annals of weird hotel terms and perhaps brings a new meaning to hot spot.
