| - I am a big mob fan. I mean I love the mafia movies. So, while in Las Vegas I heard about this interactive mob museum. Was there a question that I would visit this place while in Las Vegas- forget about it.
Upon entering this exhibit they give you a mob nickname (my nickname was Creepy) and you select a computer generated guide (I picked Frank Vincent, but I wish they had Joe Pesci). Next, they take your picture and give you an id badge with your picture on it. And, off you go into the museum.
The tour starts when you walk into the exhibit which is a recreation of some scene in America in the 20's. You read a little history and as you walk into a room, you are in the middle of a mob scene. An actor dressed as a mobster talks to you like you are a low level mob associate. He gives you an assignment and you continue the tour. Next, you read a little more history and then bam, you are in the middle of another mob scene with an actor dressed as a mobster. (the scenes are funny but, I'm nobody's DeNiro) Oh yeah, your computer generated guide gives you a little history and direction as you walk through the exhibit.
I spent about 2 hours and really enjoyed the experience. I wish there was a little more scenes with the actors and less reading, but all in all a very fun time. Even if you are not a big mafia fan, it would still be something fun to do while in Las Vegas.
