We took a dinner cruise on Lake Mead last year. It's amazing when you look up the walls of the lake and realize that the water is 20-30 feet lower than it used to be.
Here is an interesting chart of Lake Mead water levels going back 70 years. It's based on feet above sea level, so the lake is not 1000+ feet deep. Notice that the lake is at least 50 feet lower than it was in 2003. It's also dipping to lows it had in the 1950's and 60's, serving a population that was significantly lower. Except for a brief spike in 2005, the decline has been consistent.

When I flew out of Vegas last year, I had a great look at the lake. Absolutely amazing amount of bleached white rock showing where the level used to be.
