  • One of my favorite museums in Vegas! PROTIP: If you're a Nevada resident, flash your ID and it's $13.95 admission. Or $10 if you flash your student ID. I believe there is also reentry privileges through the day. Located on Stewart and Casino Center. This museum building used to be one of Las Vegas' first county post office. The building itself is gorgeous and I'm a sucker for architecture. Three floor of brutal mob history. This place is great even if you have minimal interest in the mob. My friend and I went on a weekend around noon and we stayed until closing several hours later! The exhibit starts on the 3rd floor. You take the elevator up. The usher was awesome. He greeted us as we were going up. He was in character and dressed to the nines in what you think is mobster-wear from the 20s. Very cool. The staff is knowledgeable about mob history here! We had fun asking them about the details on some of the court cases. There's a few interactive exhibits like touchscreens for the specifics on the mobs in each major city in the U.S. and the popular mobsters originating from each location. You get to touch a non-functioning model of the Thommy gun and hear the gunshots it makes. Yes, there's lots of reading, but it's a museum. Expect some active reading and not passive learning reality crap on TLC. There's artifacts like giant thigh flasks from the prohibition era to holding an actual gun as an FPS exhibit. Informative, overwhelming, and surprisingly fun! One of the highlights is the actual reassembled St. Valentine's Day massacre wall (one of the bloodiest massacres in mob history). Incredibly cool to see. Plenty of history here including Las Vegas' seedy origins. They don't sugarcoat the mob killings either. There's some graphic pictures on the second floor detailing some of the most gruesome mob hits. Even with us spending several hours here, we still didn't get to see everything on the last floor (first floor). The place was closing, so we had to breeze right through it. Definitely coming back here. If you want something different in Vegas and a little culture, Mob Museum is where it's at. I'm not too interested in mob history, but this was awesome. I'd recommend it to families with older kids to enjoy. Even at a discount, I wouldn't mind paying full-price for this museum.
