Lake Mead Dangerously Low As The Past Begins To Surface & An Abandoned Lake Resort Decaying In Time

[@S.E.C-R]

Damn! A $26 breakfast burrito?!? That’s nuts, but with so much lost business from the water dropping they have to make money somewhere.

[@S.E.C-R]

The abandoned resort is Echo Bay, it’s really well known. I’m surprised you didn’t know what it was.

[@HeinousHaggis]

Hey Marc thanks for documenting that. Kind of bums me out. I sold my boat several years ago because of the continued lake levels dropping. It was becoming hazardous to even navigate with new rocky areas coming to the surface. We had a lot of fun over the years on the lake. Wish the Rockies would get huge snowpack for like 20 yrs in a row and refill it but alas I may never see it again in my lifetime.

[@TheOtherMeLV]

It's a total bummer. I haven't been boating in years but thinking about renting one now while we still can.

[@HeinousHaggis]

@@TheOtherMeLV you guys should, you’re right it would make for some great videos with the VCC. Plus it’ll give Joe another reason to do 12 shots of Don Julio lol.

[@vegastocali]

I like the idea for the VCC to come party for a week. Those videos would be so much fun. Have a wonderful week Marc. I enjoy your videos that venture out of town. Thanks

[@TheOtherMeLV]

Can you imaging the turmoil we'd create? LMAO be like the Titanic, Gilligan's Island & Lost all in one.

[@ChrisJohnson-hk6es]

Wow!! I left Vegas in 1999. I remember going out to Lake Mead and rode in the paddle wheel boat. I cannot believe how low that water is now! This is just heartbreaking. No doubt there is a serious problem rapidly growing. Will be in Vegas next week. Hope to see you out on Fremont!

[@TheOtherMeLV]

I didn't realize how bad it actually was until I went took for myself. It's really sad. Definitely say hello if you see me out.

[@havingfun3619]

That entire desert is so pretty .

[@TheOtherMeLV]

It really is beautiful. Thank you.

Hello Marc, thanks for bringing this to us on lake mead 👍

[@TheOtherMeLV]

Hi Lloyd. Thank you for watching. Appreciate you.

[@LetYrLiteShine]

Whoa the water line looks even lower then when I vlogged it.

[@GalavantersSlots]

Great video Marc! Its good to see whats actually going on there. Unreal on how low the water has gotten. Have an awesome weekend!

[@billcoleman7316]

Hi Marc, it' so sad to see the lake so low.

[@TheOtherMeLV]

Hi Bill. It's really sad and kinda scary.

I thought Marc did it for us LoL 😁😂 thanks

[@VegasBestIdeas]

My aunt and I were down there in mid Feb, it was pretty crazy to see how low it's got. And all this recent news is a bit freaky too 😉 Thanks for the video and update Marc 👍

[@teresabedford9923]

My grandparents came to Vegas in the 60s and they converted an old school bus into a camper. My Mom was a teenager at the time and they got to Vegas and could not find housing. Vegas was growing back then too and they had no place to live. So Grandpa took the bus and parked it at cottonwood cove and they lived there at the lake until one of his co workers rented them an apartment. Mom and Dad both graduated from Vegas HIgh. But Dad got to Vegas in 1949. She still talks about living at the lake. (Cottonwood Cove is on lake mohave)

[@TheOtherMeLV]

My mom was full of these stories growing up in Vegas too. I'd love to convert an old bus into a home and travel.

[@maxinebaca8221]

Thank you for showing us this , this sad 😞

[@TheOtherMeLV]

You guys should definitely go to Lake Mead Marina and have lunch at The Boat House. You'll enjoy it.

[@vegastocali]

That is so pretty at the end. Free overnight camping. I watched some channel called Rhody Foody come camp in his car overnight out here. Looked fun

[@TheOtherMeLV]

The camp sites aren't that bad when it's not a million degrees our lol. I've camped at the lake many many times in my life lol.

[@abelflores1593]

I wonder when it's going to be time to take those boat houses out of Lake Mead

[@frontiertina]

It’s crazy how the water is just disappearing 😔! Omg…the abandoned resort was creepy, yet sooo intriguing! Great tour around the property! Great camera work and music👌! Love these adventures👍👍👍!!!

[@thePOWERofCHRIScompelsYOU]

That Hills Have Eyes Resort is pure nightmare fuel.

[@TheOtherMeLV]

Haha it really is.

[@karenmandel4547]

it was sad and hard to look at because l saw it flourish years ago. interesting though, l would have never known. Thank you for such a field trip.😊😊

[@TheOtherMeLV]

Thank you so much for watching, Karen. It's very sad. I just hope it doesn't deplete completely over the years.

[@johnarsenault990]

Thanks for the vid and resort tour I’ll pass on a nights stay there

[@vegasvan2000]

A lake partially devoid of water and a decaying resort property ... There's a movie script somewhere. Haven't been house boating since college on the California Delta.

[@TheOtherMeLV]

We could make a great horror movie lol. I haven't been house boating for a while myself. Had a blast when we did.

[@TracyJ4418]

It’s just so sad 😞

[@TheOtherMeLV]

It truly is

[@CatsCradleCorner]

That looks so pretty! I subscribed and I always watch in full!

[@SilverfoxJB]

Shocking how low the water has got in just a few tears. Very interesting video. I wish I knew these places existed when I used to visit Vegas. Amazing music choices, you are always on top of the music game. The VCC really should rent a boat!

[@sweeney0558]

HOPE YOUR LEG IS OK. AND THANKS FOR SHOWING US WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING OUT THERE

[@TheOtherMeLV]

I'm fine. Didn't even know I was cut until I felt blood in my sock lol. Thank you, Linda

[@wyattlopez4688]

Nice work again Marc, The resort reminds me of the Salton Seance a thriving water recreation area and now rotting relics.

[@TheOtherMeLV]

It's a shame all these resorts are decaying into nothing. Thank you so much for watching.

[@pmrossetti1]

Super sad to see the water evaporating, we up here in Canada hear it on the news every once in a while. Great vid, thanks for the share 👍

[@TheOtherMeLV]

Yeah it's getting bad. Thank you so much for stopping by, Joe.

[@andthe2become1flesh93]

Wow! The water level was freaky enough, but then the abandoned resort was even crazier. Great video, Marc! 🙂👏❤️ Hope your leg wasn't too bad. Btw, I loved the ducks and pigeon. 🤍

[@TheOtherMeLV]

You are too awesome, thank you! My leg is a mess lol. I wish I would have went into the abandoned resort lol

[@faithnaidoo7647]

[@lesleescott5219]

I was just out there 2 weeks ago and the water is dropping so fast rite before my eyes 👀what are we going to do Las Vegas only gets 4% California don't care 52,% if it rains all week long it won't be enough to make a difference and we keep growing. How is this supposed to work 😎💚🤟

[@LetYrLiteShine]

Yeah Steve-O stayed at Echo Bay Marina in his boating days.

[@Disruptivegirl]

You should have stopped at the Callville Bay Resort & Marina restaurant, a lot of people miss it since it’s so far away from the water now, but it’s walking distance from the campground there and has awesome food.

[@TheOtherMeLV]

I knew there was a restaurant somewhere lol. Didn't think to look near the campgrounds.

[@Disruptivegirl]

@@TheOtherMeLV it’s at the very top of the ramp, used to be waterfront, it’s the building that also houses the yacht club. I was so disoriented when we were down there last month because of the low water, just so surreal.

[@TheOtherMeLV]

@@Disruptivegirl Now I have to go back out just to try the restaurant lol.

[@anabella2014]

Wow 👌 👏 😍

[@truelies3690]

I lived in Las Vegas Henderson Nevada from January 1978 to September 2011. Saw lake Mead overflowing its banks, swelling up and bursting at the seams and Hoover dam overflowing its banks and spillways in April 1983! Many many years decades of fun in lake Mead. Always knew this was gonna happen sometime in the future back in 1995 as Las Vegas/ Henderson Nevada was having a building boom. Got outta there in 2011. Sad to see prophesy reality take place and come to pass. Good luck all with water there. Get out while you can if you can. Bone dry by 2025 if this continues.

Is there enough food in the lake for the fish at the beginning? It seems like they’re starving.

I agree. We can make some fun videos.😊

Would’ve been cool to see a comparison video between this time and from when you and Alex were there a couple years back.

No it doesn't. The water is drying up.

Food looked good, but man it cost more than eating on Fremont. LOL

[@TheOtherMeLV]

LMAO true

[@maeb1979]

I heard that Las Vegas only uses a small percentage of water from lake Meads, is that true?

[@HeinousHaggis]

Of the 7 states in the Colorado river pact that was drawn in 1922 Nevada was one of the states with the least amount of acre feet of allocated water. Of course they had no idea of the population explosion Las Vegas would undergo at that time. Hence Las Vegas has been one of the most water conscious regions that draws water from the Colorado for many years now. The Imperial Valley which is a major farming region uses a lot of the water. If you’re on the east coast and eating a kale salad in January you can bet that the lettuce came from the Imperial Valley. The drought is a major issue that no one is talking about.

[@TheOtherMeLV]

Not so true with all the development in the city since the 80s

[@HeinousHaggis]

@@TheOtherMeLV no doubt Marc. Been a major pop boom here over the years. That poor river has way too many straws in it.

Yes there is a Las Vegas man who was extremely inspired by your videos!! He actually puts a spin on the situation by showing how LV is so involved w money making, they are ignoring or covering up the sad situation of drought. The fake Lake Las Vegas... he's o.k., don't take offense. You have inspired him! And now more people are seeing the sadness and disaster of it all. Don't worry, he's not looking for Jimmy. Hehehe, Didn't they find him in Lake Tahoe 25 yrs ago?? I'm 72 and grew up w all that!

[@rudylovato2759]

They need to clean all of the dead boats and oil drums. All of that crap has got to come out. Then it will rain.

So now thats it is so low. Clean it up
