I'm a fan of Mafia related books and documentaries so when I was offered a deal through TravelZoo to buy a ticket for this and also Madame Tussad's for $32, I took full advantage of it.
My gangster name was "The Cigar" and chose Frank Vincent (actor from Casino, Goodfellas & The Sopranos) as my narrator/guide. I expected this to be cheesy but was pleasantly surprised to learn this was not so bad (having to go through giving the envelope to Vinny at the coffee table was about the most cheesy it got). They would not allow pictures to be taken and offered you the chance to buy some pictures that were taken of you during the exhibit. I paid $23 for 2 glossy pics of me in jail and after robbing the bank's vault (too bad I couldn't use that $$ at the craps table!)
The information about the various gangsters and associates can be found on the Las Vegas Sun's website but I really enjoyed watching the private home movies of Ben Seigel and seeing alot of the personal effects, cars and such from Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano and others. I didn't think this glorified gangsters and their ways at all; it basically shows the type of people they were and the lengths they would go to maintain their criminal ways.
My only complaint was the fact that there were more families with kids there than I expected. I'm not sure this exhibit/museum is something kids 10 and under should check out.
Overall it was an enjoyable 2 hours of my time to go through this and I'd suggest this to anyone who has an interest in the mafia
