Just two blocks from the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas is The Mob Museum, where you can get an eye-opening, no-holds-barred look into organised crime. This comprehensive, three-story museum is housed in a former federal courthouse that is designated on the National Register of Historic Places, and your ticket grants you all-day access to it. You will learn the deepest secrets of renowned gangsters like Al Capone, John Gotti, and Whitey Bulger through multimedia presentations, interactive touch screens, pictures, and one-of-a-kind relics. You’ll also learn just how much organised crime figures like Bugsy Siegel, who built the Flamingo casino, one of the first on the Las Vegas Strip, have influenced Las Vegas.Learn about the mob’s activities in the areas of eavesdropping, kidnapping, and drug and human trafficking. You’ll also hear about the valiant efforts of people who have worked to bring mobsters to court, such as Elmer Irey, Estes Kefauver, and Joe Pistone (also known as Donnie Brasco). Visit the courtroom where one of the Kefauver hearings on organised crime was conducted in 1950, when the museum building was still a federal courthouse, and the wall where seven mobster were lined up and killed in the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. To understand more about organised crime in modern times, you may also interact with a 17-foot-wide touchscreen and listen to actual FBI surveillance tapes.
