"I learned that the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement (better known as the Mob Museum) has purchased a nearly 30,000-square-foot parcel of land directly to its east in downtown Las Vegas. The museum plans to use the additional space to expand administrative offices, exhibitions, archives, entertainment programs, and new food and beverage facilities. The Mob Museum released a statement saying, “While we are still in the early stages of planning, we are eager to build upon our current food and beverage programs through the lens of historical events to provide our guests with additional entertaining, authentic, memorable and delicious experiences.” The parcel, bordered to the south by Stewart Avenue and to the east and northeast by Fourth Street, will provide greater flexibility in constructing additional facilities while respecting the integrity of the museum’s historic building." - Janna Karel
