| - Took a side trip to the Mob Museum while down on Fremont Street for the day on 2/12/13. As someone who is a major fan of The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire, this place really is a treasure trove of cool memorabilia and artifacts from that era, and you'll learn a ton about the Mafia. If you watched those shows or ever seen a gangster film, you'll know exactly what I mean when I say that you get to meet these people even more closely and get to know how they rose up to the notorious men they came to be.
Personally, I found the neatest thing here to be the actual wall where the St. Valentines Day Massacre occurred. Beyond that, their are a lot of other little things here and there, but keep in mind that this is a museum. They try their best to make it as interactive as fun as possible, like the place where you can get your mugshot taken. In total, I think my friends and I spent about an hour and a half walking through the self guided tour. It's a really nice museum, and they upkeep it really well, considering the area it is in. If your in the Fremont Street area, or a fan of gangster films and/or history, this is a great side trip attraction to spend a few hours in.
