What visitors find at The Mob Museum
The Mob Museum presents the history and impact of organized crime alongside the work of law enforcement. The nonprofit’s exhibits use artifacts, videos, interactive displays and multimedia across four floors.
The building itself is part of the story. The museum occupies the former U.S. Courthouse and Post Office, which opened in 1933. On November 15, 1950, Senator Estes Kefauver’s committee held a hearing in its second-floor courtroom about organized crime’s involvement in the Las Vegas casino industry.
Among the featured displays are the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre wall and ballistics evidence, the historic courtroom, the Crime Lab and the Firearm Training Simulator. The basement’s The Underground combines a speakeasy and distillery with exhibits on Prohibition and the wreckage of the Lizzie D.

What can you combine with a downtown museum visit?
