- You don’t come to Death Valley because abundant life flourishes here. Which is exactly why an oasis in the middle of it is so special. Only here can you stroll among lush date palms, float the day away in one of our spring fed pools or disappear into the exhilarating landscape of one of America’s largest national parks, and still return in time for a memorable dinner - and a sunset you’ll never forget. Only here will you find two distinct hotel experiences - the Historic Four-Diamond Inn at Death Valley, completely renovated with the look and feel of a 1920’s inn, but the amenities and details expected by the modern upscale traveler. Or the family friendly Ranch at Death Valley - perfect for all types of adventurers. Only here will you find a one-of-a-kind resort, within a one-of-a-kind oasis, within a one-of-a-kind national park, sure to give you a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Welcome to the Oasis at Death Valley - North America’s only true desert oasis.
Imagine being a survivor struggling with heat and thirst, having to walk through Death Valley because your car broke down, and then suddenly discover this oasis!
Yes Paula, you prompted my comment above.
A survivor? Of a couple mile walk or a short wait for someone to come down the road? Survivor, huh? ONLY TO "DISCOVER" THE OASIS AND BE CHARGED $4 FOR A BOTTLE OF WATER!!!!!! THANK GOD FOR XANTERRA!!!!!
@@ericashmusic8889 Your comment above is outright false fake news horseshit. It has NEVER been within 40 degrees of 200 at Furnace Creek in the last 100 years or more.
@@MrRichtrickey Is there something wrong with Xanterra? Can you tell more about it?
@@PaulaJBean Comapny housing is mandatory to work at most locations, including Death Valley and all of Yellowstone. That housing is a hotel room sized room you'll share with 2 to 3 other adults. You'll be charged $100 or more a week for that privilege, bringing your earnings BELOW minimum wage in California or Wyoming. You'll be fed barely edible slop in employee dining, and not permitted to cook in company housing. You'll get no benefits and either get less than 15 hours a week or be laid off entirely during slow seasons.
Other than that, no, nothing wrong with Xanterra.
I worked here for a year about 30 years ago. I love the place. It’s gorgeous beyond belief. The only thing is they shouldn't have animals to ride on in 125° heat
It looks wonderful 😍
I as well, year round, 1984-89. Back then it was AmFac running the lodging. Many great friends including Park Service. Always wanted to go back and live my last years there. Most beautiful landscape and best times of my life.
If I recall 1993-94 it was still a nation monument not national park, Fred Harvey company ran the place. July 4th weekend 1994 it was 128° for four days. That temp was broken last year at 130°
@@stripervince1 - Yes, it was the Monument and AmFac kept the Fred Harvey name because it was such a well-known name and the original...but you are right.
They ran Stove Pipe also. I think the Park ran Scotty's Castle, can't remember. I look at what they've done now to the place and can't tell if I like it or not...too modern.
@@conortheprophet2198 the scary thing is pahrump used to be a small desert town. Growing like mad too fast encroaching on DV space. They should never never allow any commercialization or housing development within 100 miles of DV. It ruins every thing. I hate land developers even more than lawyers
i just came back from death valley and stayed at the ranch. i can tell you guys this is a very underrated national park. with grand canyon national park, you basically have one gorgeous view from different perspective. at death valley, you get very diverse and unique variety views.
Perfect temperatures? Half of the year the temperature will melt lead.
Perfect!
Wrong

Imagine swimming in the pool at 129 degrees F - you might probably see satan taking a dip as well
Would he be wearing a 👙 bikini with a sexy smile. I'm in.
@@maxlaguna9712 not me
It doesn't get that hot in the winter time. Hot weather just isn't for some people. Quite frankly I can't imagine living in a place like Siberia. I'd kill myself
i have pretty much done that/ over 120F a few times anyway/ so nice, and it keeps me alive when i motorcycle through the desert.. cools you right off and usually very few other people around so you get the pool almost to yourself
makes no sense to have a golf course built on the aquifer water. You might as well grow date and pomegranate tress which will prevent the loss of water into the atmosphere and also get fruits.
the aquifer water will run out in no time.
I worked there back in 80s loved it
I’ll be working there soon, hopefully I will enjoy it
@@sungaze342 how's it going if I may ask is the employee housing ok?
Ok, you worked there, but where did you live?
wow that's beautiful
had no idea there was an oasis there
I really cannot understand a vacation at 120-140 degrees heat. How does one walk or even hike less than 1/2 a mile before heat stroke?? I would go if anyone can tell me..
In the spring and fall the temperature is comfortable. I used to camp there in the fall and spring and it was pleasant.
My God, you people are daft. It is only that hot in the summertime. There is season called winter, ya know.
I staying for my birthday super excited.
daily dose of internet brought me here
Haha same!
Me too! I saw the trees and stuff and was like wait what
I knew someone was going to comment this
Are you fucking kidding me? Me too haha. Had to see what that "oasis" he filmed but didn't mention.
Me too bro
Missing a herd of camels 🐫 to make the place perfect.
could the ceiling lamps in the dining & bar area have inspired a movie?
A friend of mine who worked here told me a guest died out there a few years back because of the heat!.
in the summer time its 80 degrees at 6am and by noon it 118 and by 2pm its has top out at 125 - its so freaking hot out there the sand lizards all go underground to get out of the heat =
So don't go there in the summertime. What's so difficult about that?
@@erossinema8797 I was thinking the same thing lol
For some reason coming from a tropical country in the middle east I cannot wrap my head around the fact that this is in US.
From Death Valley, California.......The Undertaker!
How much water does it take to keep this place running?
Here shinning
Wait... but is the water spring fed?
By naturally print fed she means they pump the aquifer dry just so they can have a lame golf course.. way to go. 👎
The place reminded me of a few episodes in Fear the Walking Dead
Dude, do you have a surf spot there?
Probably for the rich and famous
Is that the restaurant featured in the first season of West World with Anthony Hopkins?
Why does this remind me of Total Recall for some reason
Reminds me of the Escondido Taco Bell. Muy grande. Muy awesomo.
I'm not sure that I like Furnace Creek to be an oasis. I made many trips back there and it was completely desert just a couple of places to spend the night
No bedbug issues because they can't survive in temperatures over 130 degrees.
That made me itch...
How about showing the squalor your employees are forced to live in, or are you not proud of that?
I know right
I heard Disney does the same with their employees.
@@sanansa4567 I cant speak regarding Disney, but Xanterra, the operator at Furnace Creek/ Oasis at DV,, treats non-management employees like complete shit and the Park Service looks the other way.
To clarify and be fair. I loved death valley and the majority of coworkers and NPS staff and visitors were great. The housing was just crappy. I don't know if recent remodels included staff housing or facilities. Xanterra room n' board at Yellowstone was far better.
They should have had Frank Lloyd Wright design the Resort - (What were they thinking!?! - It was his era).
The following contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first from death valley weighting in at 305 pounds the undertaker announcer (tony chimmel).
Pool probably hotter than those Onsen in Sapporo!
Yeah, what you said.
I bet theres a lot of rattlesnakes and lizards there
So what? I hope there are. I love ratttlesnakes and lizards. Especially small lizards. They are totally cool.
Link to a reservation please
A Paradise in the Middle of Hell. Imagine working there. Making the trip. Oh, dear.
So rich celebrities built a resort on top of a special oasis? Got it
Did you even watch the video? It was a mining operation originally.
Cool 😎
What a waste of land.
Im reminded of people who say they love camping but stay in a modernized cabin and call it camping.
Only $1,200.00 a nite for the smallest room
What's the difference between the Oasis and the ranch??
The Oasis is just a new name after the remodels of the last few years. I'm pretty sure the Oasis name includes the ranch and inn properties.
There’s literally so many things that would be better & more attractive to do with a true oasis than to make a dumb golf resort.
Right after the lady on the video said literally for the third time, I read your comment. I hereby outlaw the use of the word literally, ok? OK!
Looks like it offers plenty of jobs.
Name one.
It's there because old curmudgeons love golf courses and open their wallets for them; And that's the only reason it's there. I agree that it damages and cheapens the landscape though. I'd much rather see Date Palm Trees having their "babies" instead of it being wasted on a golf course

Desire to rich there on my honey moon
❤️ USA 🇺🇸
it's in California forget about it.............Cowboy's without guns, lol.
Fantastic comment! What a shame, though.
Ammosexuals👆
Better than Texas, which is cowboys WITH guns.
The motorcycle illegally passed on a double yellow line.
Throw him in prison!!!!!!!!!
@438295 tell that to millennials
snitch
No bicycle-rider sneers?
Death valley , CA is the hottest place on earth & driest. I'll pass !
$400 a night
😊
Any location in warmer location like AZ, have the time it is very hot/cold.
You ppl in this ERA need to stop whining about things and adapt and try living life reality some!
And be tough when your cell phones goes our for 2 minutes and Not call 9-11 about it!
Good grief, this place is Very enjoyable beautiful in cold w a jacket on or summer in the eve/ early morning time.
I might just go here 6 times a year to give a Real sensible report of how it is to be in this spot!
To dispel the sniveling and misrepresentation I see on this comment section.
You tell them brother!
Someone literally needs to rewrite the copy to this commercial. Maybe it was heatstroke. And not to be too politically correct, tomahawk steaks? And you forgot imagining cowboys walking into the saloon with arrows in their hats🤣. Finally, stargazing at night is literally redundant 🤔.
So is the use of the word literally on this thread. Gag me with a spoon, literally!
@@patrickbyrne9282 Literally!
Sounds like a waste of water, on a golf course. Stop lying
