Museum detailing organized crime history with interactive exhibits
"A downtown museum that explores the history of organized crime and law enforcement and includes a moodily lit speakeasy-style bar in its basement for an immersive historical experience." - Matt Villano
"Located in the city’s first federal courthouse, this museum traces organized crime’s historical influence on Vegas with interactive exhibits and a speakeasy."
"Located in the former federal courthouse downtown, the Mob Museum uses interactive exhibits to chronicle notorious gangsters like Al Capone and Bugsy Siegel and famed FBI agents such as J. Edgar Hoover and Eliot Ness; after the exhibits you can visit the on‑site Prohibition‑era speakeasy for a cocktail." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.

"The founding fathers of Las Vegas weren’t so much Mount Rushmore-worthy as they were organized criminals and the law enforcement agents that chased them. You can learn about them all at the Mob Museum in Downtown Vegas, which was created in the actual federal courthouse where many mobsters were tried. Don’t miss the portion of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Wall, whose bloodied bricks were transported here from Chicago. Stop by the museum’s speakeasy to try some of the moonshine from its on-premises still." - Staff Writer
"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
