Everyone often jokes that the Cooper Square Hotel in New York looks like a giant glass vibrator but this new hotel in Abu Dhabi has actually one-upped Cooper Square and with blinking lights too!

According to the Gizmodo tech blog, the just completed Yas Hotel has a massive canopy consisting of 5,000-odd LEDs and glass panels, which can reportedly change color and play low-res video. It's actually being categorized as the world's largest LED project. Which all sounds fine and good, except at this angle it looks like a giant penis. (Sorry, we can't mince words here. That's what it looks like.)

Even worse, the 500-room luxury hotel covers a Formula 1 race track making it the pit stop for all things testosterone-y. All it needs now is a garage for the Ambiguously Gay Duo's car.

Inside the hotel, which ahem is what we should be talking about, rooms are less phallic and more futuristic with customized mood lighting options, connectivity panels, an Xbox available on request. An ESPA is expected to open soon and there is several dining options on site.

The hotel is also close to the Warner Brothers theme park, Ferrari World, the Yas marina circuit and a golf course. Rates start at 1000 AED a night which is roughly $272 USD.

Thanks to Courtney for the tip!
