| - I love this museum, as I love learning about the mob. I have been twice. The first time, I was able to experience the interactive part of the museum. The problem was that I was by myself, and it felt so cheesy and embarrassing. If I had been with a group of friends, or even someone pretending to be my friend, it would be more fun to interact with the "mobsters" (btw, the actors really get into their roles!). But for kids, or for people looking to have a goofy time, the interactive part is cute/fun. I went again yesterday, and they are refurbishing the interactive part, so tickets were only 15 bucks. I love the facts and amount of info in the museum when you get to do the full tour. There is a lot to read and learn. There is a room where you get to watch a video where you learn about the making of the Godfather and the mob opposition initially. There is a room devote to each major mobster that played a big role in Vegas development (Siegel, Lansky, Luciano, Cohen, etc). It's fun to see cardboard cut outs with their height to learn how short some of them are. I tower over Meyer Lansky! In general, this is a very cool way to spend a few hours. Strongly recommend... But wait til after March 2012 when they re-open the interactive portion.
