What To Expect

The Mob Museum, officially known as the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, is located in downtown Las Vegas.

This all-day admission ticket provides access to this comprehensive four-story museum, located in a former federal courthouse building listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Enjoy a world-class, interactive journey from the birth of the Mob to today’s headlines. This authentic, eye-opening view of organized crime’s impact on the world, reveals an inside look at the events and characters in the ongoing battle between the Mob and law enforcement.

Real-life stories are presented with four floors of engaging, multi-sensory exhibits and unparalleled insights from those on the front lines of both sides of the battle. The Mob Museum offers a provocative, contemporary look at this fascinating topic through hundreds of artifacts and immersive storylines.

Discover how organized crime has changed and how law enforcement has brought down the Mob over the years. Peruse the Wall of Infamy, featuring famous mobsters like Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, John Gotti and many more — 100 years of ‘made men.’ And that’s only on the first floor.

Further along, learn about the Kefauver Hearings and see the courtroom that put businessmen, politicians, and mobsters on the proverbial hot seat. Discover a Las Vegas mobsters described as ‘open’ — for gambling and profits, that is. Find out about Jimmy Hoffa’s friends in the Mob. See the Mob’s involvement in the assassination of a president. And so much more.

Surrounded by artifacts from the 1920s, experience Prohibition-era craft cocktails in the speakeasy and take a tour of the distillery to see where the Museum makes its house-distilled moonshine.

Download the free mobile app and easily plan your visit to the Mob Museum. See the layout of the building with an interactive map and see a list of all of the exhibits with their contents. Enjoy self-guided tours and embark on “missions” to learn about the history of the Mob and law enforcement, and much more at the tip of your fingers.

The Mob Museum

Prepare yourself for a fascinating, no-holds-barred look at organized crime at The Mob Museum, just two blocks away from the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas. Your ticket gives you all-day admission to this comprehensive three-story museum, located in a former federal courthouse building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Through multimedia presentations, interactive touch screens, photos and one-of-a-kind artifacts, you’ll unveil the darkest secrets of famous gangsters including Al Capone, John Gotti and Whitey Bulger. You’ll also discover how deeply Las Vegas has been influenced by organized criminals such as Bugsy Siegel, who developed the Flamingo casino -- one of the first on the Las Vegas Strip. Learn about the mob’s operations in drug and human trafficking, wiretapping and kidnapping, and hear about the courageous efforts of those who have fought to bring mobsters to justice, including Elmer Irey, Estes Kefauver and Joe Pistone (also known as Donnie Brasco). See the wall against which seven mobsters were lined up and executed in the notorious St Valentine’s Day Massacre and the historic courtroom where one of the Kefauver hearings on organized crime was held in 1950, when the museum building was still a federal courthouse. You can also listen to real FBI surveillance tapes and interact with a 17-foot-wide touchscreen to learn more about Organized Crime Today.

Adjusting their focus,but some hope

Betsy_F, Mar 2023

This Museum is very well organized. It takes about 4 hours to go through and details much of the history of the Mobs with updates even through the cartells today. Well worth the time!

Awesome and very informative experience

Ronnie_G, Mar 2023

Mob Tour

Rhonda_B, Feb 2023

It tells a story of the history of the mob life for those who never knew what the mob was all about. The Speak Easy was not that great. Not enough staff, no one to seat you

Wow Experience!

Sherry_T, Feb 2023

What fun! We added the Crime Lab and Fire Arm Training Simulator to our experience. The people who are over both are professional and make it fun! Also, need to give a shout out to the lady in the line up room. She was very informative. Would do go back. Our visit was a WOW!

Unique museum

Kristin_R, Feb 2023

The Mob Museum is very well organized and packed full of history that is relevant to the western US. It has some neat interactive exhibits and some really great videos. I would not suggest bringing children, as some of the images and videos would not be appropriate for young eyes.

Must go

Betsy_U, Feb 2023

I think the timing of the recordings and the picture stories were on points. You were not inundated with recordings. I was not rushed; inclusive presentation; plenty of people to help you. Enjoyable and informative.

Excellent exhibition and very professional staff

History

Natalie_G, Nov 2022

I loved learning how Las Vegas came to be. I also loved learning all the characteristics and habits that are known to men in the mob.

At Any Cost

Mitch_M, Nov 2022

History of this country trends to repeat itself, I kept reflecting back to the book of Geneisis. Humans ability to survive at any cost, people exploiting others for personal gain is in our nature. Reflecting back again to the beginning of civilization we driven by greed, ego self worth.

Must see experience

It’s not just in the movies

Maria_A, Oct 2022

Very interesting. Great exhibits. Do the experiences. If you like the mob movies you’ll enjoy the museum.

The history of the FBI...

Ed_M, Oct 2022

The history of the FBI and it's apprehension of mob members was intriguing. Each of the exhibits helped fill in areas that news and rumors had touched upon. I recommend that if you are in Vegas.... take the tour!!

Great experience.

Linda_M, Oct 2022

The museum is easy to get to. It was very well done. Lots of great information. Loved the movies. We went with a group of friends and we had lots of fun talking about what we saw.

Learn some history, then have a drink

Danelle_P, Oct 2022

It was a historical journey through the mobs influence in Las Vegas and the country. The best part is The Speakeasy in the basement. Good drinks, fun atmosphere, and great live music.
