The CityCenter Death Ray, as experienced by VegasChatter

Remember how early in the summer we warned you about our extreme, sudden sunburn at Liquid thanks to the rays suddenly hitting Aria at the right moment? Turns out we weren’t hypochondriac had a lucky escape.

A visitor to Vdara recently had his plastic bag melted and his hair singed by what Vdara employees apparently call a “death ray”, which hit him at 12.20pm. He told the RJ that he awoke from a doze to find himself “effectively being cooked”:

I started running as fast as I could without looking like a lunatic.

But he didn’t stop to save the plastic bag, which promptly died.

Unfortunately for Vdara, said tourist is a lawyer (good luck with that, CityCenter!). Fortunately for the rest of us, let’s consider his tale a warning. Our death ray at Liquid happened around 3pm, so our advice would be to refrain from drinking so much you can’t identify said death ray, throughout the afternoon.

We’re off to call Glen Lerner about our acid bath neck now. We’re still smarting from the embarrassment, four months on. Honest.

The deflector shield will be quite operational

I recall this happening at the Luxor pool as well.  I chalked it up to Vegas being Vegas.  It's good to know it wasn't just in my head.  The picture of that Vdara bag was kinda scary.  Wear that sunscreen, folks.

Next Media Animation has done it again!

Next Media Animation (NMA), the Taiwanese media group that brought you the animated depiction of Tiger Woods' car crash, has created a short, animated video reporting on this story, "Vegas hotel guests fried by death rays".  Check it out!

That was fantastic, especially at 25 seconds in.  Thanks for the link.

I'd advise that they settle and sort it out before they get a reputation!

Vdara

Out of 3 major Luxury Hotels Las Vegas has at its city center, Vdara is a almost hidden in the back and is quite a little bit of a walk to the strip but not too bad. The death ray is a surprising thing I have never heard of but I can see how that would be extreemly irritating.
