The Mob Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in downtown Las Vegas, a short walk from the Fremont Street canopy of lights, The Mob Museum offers a stark contrast to the city's usual glitz. Housed within a beautifully restored 1933 federal courthouse, this isn't a passive experience; you'll step into a Prohibition-era speakeasy, listen to wiretaps, and even step up to an authentic firing range used for police training. The narrative powerfully balances the brutal rise of organized crime with the relentless efforts of law enforcement to bring it down. It’s a gripping, and often sobering, look at the real stories behind the Hollywood myths.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the sobering brick wall from the St. Valentine's Day Massacre or the immersive courtroom where actual Kefauver hearings were held. Downstairs, you can grab a period-accurate cocktail at the hidden speakeasy, which requires a password for entry.
Visitor Information
Buy tickets online in advance to skip the line, especially on weekends. Give yourself a good three to four hours if you want to really dive into all the interactive exhibits.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a grand Neoclassical former courthouse, so you're literally walking through history where real mobsters once stood trial.
