Great building Design...   
Curved Face to focus the sunlight down to a small spot (or line) in the pool area.

Too bad they didn't just build it in Calgary or even Juno!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found it on Google Maps.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=2600+West+Harmon+Ave.+Las+Vegas,+NV+8910&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=62.098123,68.90625&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=2600+E+Harmon+Ave,+Las+Vegas,+Clark,+Nevada+89121&ll=36.108249,-115.177183&spn=0.00394,0.007467&t=h&z=18

(Top Left Corner of image).
Directly south facing curved building (near the East-west facing Aria curved building).

Had they flipped it with a north-facing curve, it would have changed the aesthetics of the design, but it would have been a non-issue (of course, they probably would have still wanted the pool on the South side).

I can see it now...
The next step is to build a big solar collector facing the building (or perhaps flat) on an overhead tram.

That is where I would put the solar panels.
