There are serious implications of Mead going dry. I saw a special about a month ago addressing this issue. When it does, it will affect millions. I remember when this lake was full to the top and no white line even existed and it has not taken that long to get where it is today.......sad, but true.

Here is a link to some information about the water shortage and future predictions regarding lake mead.

With that being said, I would not buy any real estate in Las Vegas.
