Vivos Survival Shelter and Resort
The California company Vivos under Robert Vicino acquired it in 2013 and is converting it to what it calls "the world's largest doomsday shelter" to accommodate "5,000 people living in up to 1,500 RVs. Customers will buy a spot and pay $1,000 per lineal foot of their vehicle. A 25-foot-long RV would cost $25,000 plus a $1,500 charge per person to pay for a year's worth of provided food and toiletries." It is to have indoor golfing, a bowling alley and swimming pool complete with a water slide. There will be blast doors.

—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
