I arranged a small attorney conference and the attendees requested a visit to the Mob Museum. I booked a private tour with Abby Cohen who was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Following the tour, the group enjoyed firearms simulation and moonshine tasting. Everyone loved the event which became the highlight of their Vegas visit. read more

The Mob Museum is a lot of fun! It provides an overview of organized crime in the US. I thought it was nicely curated. Every employee was kind and knowledgable too. There are three floors of exhibits. Some have some graphic pictures, so it may not be appropriate for young kids or those who are squeamish. The gift shop had a lot of fun mob themed items. There's even a speakeasy in the basement with a hidden room behind a painting by the bar! The whole place is very clean and well organized. Even the restrooms were sparkling! I think this is a great stop while you're visiting Fremont Street. read more

If you're into museums and history, the Mob Museum is definitely a cool spot to check out while in Vegas. Located near Fremont Street, this museum dives deep into the history of organized crime and its impact on American society. My wife and I enjoy museums and learning about history, so this was right up our alley. One thing I'll say though, don't make the mistake we did and come during a busy holiday weekend like Memorial Day weekend. The place was packed. You honestly need at least 3 hours to fully enjoy and explore everything, but we felt rushed because of the heavy foot traffic and overcrowding. The exhibits were interesting and well done, but part of me wished it went a little darker or more graphic with some of the mob history. Still, overall a really solid experience and worth visiting at least once. Next time, we'll definitely avoid the busy weekends, sign up for the guided tour, and try the crime lab experience too. read more

The exhibitions are ok but the interactive experience is so good. We got deluxe pass (access to exhibition and one interactive experience). It is a bit expensive but worth it. We did firearm training simulator and it was challenging to make a quick decision for each scenario. The distillery is cool but we did not have a chance to check out the speakeasy. read more

A must-visit! I honestly believed that this place would romanticize the criminals who wore suits and demanded respect out of fear ... sort of like The Godfather or Goodfellas. But that was certainly not the case. Rather, this museum presents the facts and artifacts. I love museums that explain and display the history. When there are actual pieces of said history, it's even better. Be it Al Capone's pistol or Bugsy Siegal's sunglasses, it's here (along with a ton of additional artifacts). You could easily spend three hours here, and every minute would be worth it. read more

This place is a gem. We loved it. You need to allow a good 3 hours approx depending on how much you get invested. The lab experience was fascinating and for me it was the best part. Wished I had more time to spend in there. Interesting history. The building is lovely... just a few minutes walk from Freemont. Definate must see in Las Vegas. read more

The Mob Museum - Museums Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Fuhgeta about it! Gangster movies are my favorite movie genre. Not sure what that says about me but hey. While I've taken several trips to Vegas, a museum has never been part of the mix. I'm happy that's finally changed. We checked out The Mob Museum on a Tuesday evening. Even though we took an Uber, they do have a complimentary parking lot adjacent to the museum. The Mob Museum is located in Fremont (the old strip) and looks like The Federal Reserve Building from the outside. There's a lot to love about The Mob Museum. First, it's open much later than a museum typically is e.g. 5 p.m. We're talking 9 p.m. here. For someone who's a night owl, I love the flexibility. There's also discounted admission after a certain hour, I think it may be 6 p.m. Check their website to be sure. Now to the museum itself. They recommend that you start on the third floor and make your way down. You're given a map which mentions some of the highlights on each level. Talk about a top-notch museum. There's a ton of information to consume. The Mob Museum highlights the history of the mob in the U.S. You learn about some of the most notorious gangsters. Some of the biggest events over the years. The Prohibition Era. The mob portrayed in movies and TV shows. There's a lot to read, there are video clips, and there are various pieces like guns, pictures, and much, much more. I'm the type that likes to read everything at a museum. To get through all three floors, I had to rush to get through it in three hours before close. So make sure you allocate your time accordingly if you're like me. They also have an awesome gift shop. It's not cheap, but they have a lot of cool things there. Many inspired by famous movies like Scarface, The Godfather, Casino, etc. and TV shows like The Sopranos and Breaking Bad. If that wasn't enough, they have a speakeasy in the basement. It's open until 11 p.m. Naturally, we had to stop by. While there cocktail menu was interesting, I went with the moonshine flight (which they make in hour). I wanted to get as authentic as I could with my experience. You also have the opportunity to add several add-ons to your general admission ticket. One of these is a moonshine tasting and distillery tour. Another is a forensics add-on. They didn't have any distillery tours while we were there so I'm glad I got to try some of their concoctions at the speakeasy. There are so many entertainment options in Las Vegas. If you have any interest in the mafia/mob, The Mob Museum is a must-visit! read more

Never met a museum we didn't like and The Mob museum delivers. Excellent docents wherever we found them roaming around. They even have a restaurant distillery in the basement. Al Capone would approve. Everything was immaculately clean! Easy parking in the area. read more

Had a great time exploring the museum. They have an excellent amount of historical pieces related to the mob, it was really impressive. It will take you some time to go through this, so make sure you have time. And don't miss out on the talk from a real life mobster. read more

A fun, different history lesson in Vegas not your typical Strip attraction I was looking for something abstract and off-the-beaten-path to do in Vegas instead of the usual stuff, and a friend suggested the Mob Museum. I hadn't been since it first opened years ago, so I got genuinely excited to check it out again. Man, I'm glad I did. This place is packed with history and it doesn't hold back. Be prepared: some exhibits get pretty gory, and there's a lot about law enforcement taking down gangsters. There's nothing glorious about the violence or the killing, but you can also see the other side of it. During the Great Depression, when people were struggling just to eat, some folks romanticized the mobsters like Robin Hood figures or even treated them like celebrities. The museum does a solid job showing all of that without sugarcoating. It's a real deep dive tons of detail across multiple floors, interactive stuff, and artifacts that make it feel immersive. If you're into history at all, you'll eat this up. And yes, if it wasn't for the mob, Vegas as we know it probably wouldn't exist. That alone makes it worth visiting. My buddy was most excited about the speakeasy bar at the bottom (The Underground), and it definitely delivered. Cool Prohibition-era vibe with craft cocktails perfect way to end the visit. Overall, this was my "oddball" activity of the trip (right after hitting Bugsy's bar, of course). The way they've put it all together is really well done. If you've got a few sober(ish) hours and want something different from the usual Vegas grind, definitely check it out. It's a nice change of pace and a solid history lesson wrapped in a unique experience. Would go again! read more

We came here with large group late in the evening about an hour before closing. They did not have all the things they offer open. So our tour was a bit limited. We had a great time taking pictures and checking out the history of Vegas and the mob scene. We headed downstairs to the underground speakeasy for a nightcap and that was the best part. read more

Really unique and interesting museum about the Mob in what was a former courthouse. They have an audio self guided tour but my family opted out. They recommend you start on the 3rd floor and work your way down. I learned a lot about how the mob came to be and the different networks across America. There are several videos, the wall from the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, an old electric chair you can sit in (with sound effects), displays of Tommy guns, and docents who will talk about some of the displays. There are also some gruesome pictures of murder victims in one of the exhibits as well but you can skip them by going out a different door. If you want a snack, the 2nd floor has a coffee shop that also sells pastries. The basement houses a speakeasy bar called "The Underground" that offers distillery tastings. There's a door in the back with the sliding viewer thing like you see on TV when they ask you for the password. Haha There's a lot to see here, we spent over 2 hours here. Parking is $8. Handicap lift available to go up to the museum entrance. read more

We booked a lot of things to do when in Vegas for Thanksgiving and this place ranks as one, if not the best, experiences we had. I do recommend getting there early because there is a lot to look at and the less crowded the easier it is to do. There is a big parking lot but it was full when we left a few hours later. They have a huge collection on multiple floors plus the speakeasy basement with detailed exhibits showing tons of memorabilia, photos, video, audio etc. You won't be bored! I paid additional for the audio tour, I don't think it's necessary really, I only used mine half the time. I also paid for some of the "experiences". I did the Crime Scene lab one which was a ton of fun if you are into learning about fingerprints, bullet identification and autopsies like Dexter Morgan used to do. My husband did the Firearm Training Simulator and enjoyed it. The person teaching his experience (former police) was convinced my guy was military or police, wish I was there to see that conversation! We also did the Distillery Tasting and Randy talked us through prohibition while we sipped on their made in house moonshine. I bought a bottle of their Huckleberry, so yum! Lastly, kudos to all the staff! Everyone was so kind and genuinely happy to be there. And everything was very clean. That's a huge deal for me! I would love to go back and spend another day...if there was no one else there. The history of the building and what went on in this old courthouse is just so cool. Definitely worth the time and price to visit! read more

Family came to town and wanted to go to the mob museum. Ive been here once before around 9 years ago and this place has changed a lot. The place is ok if its your first time but if you go a second time to me it was like a boring school field trip, lots lots of worker trying to guide you and talk to you about the stuff that's there. I like more of a museum to look and read stuff. I don't think I'll ever make a third trip back here. read more

s a Las Vegas local, I appreciate that the Mob Museum offers a resident discount -- it makes the visit more accessible and worth considering. I recommend booking online ahead of time, though if you're trying to book multiple experiences in addition to general admission, the process can feel a bit cumbersome and not very streamlined. That said, I highly recommend purchasing the interactive experiences. Those are what make the visit feel worth it, especially if you've already been inside the museum once. While the exhibits themselves are interesting and well done, I'm not sure how often I'd return without the added experiences. I enjoyed the interactive components overall. The crime lab was cool, but the standout for me was the firearm simulator training -- it was unique, eye-opening, and not something you encounter at most museums. That experience alone made the visit feel special. I also love learning about the history of criminal activity in Las Vegas and beyond, and the museum does a great job presenting that information in an engaging way. It's educational, immersive, and a fun way to spend a few hours. One downside is that there are moments where it feels like the museum is trying to nickel-and-dime you. Between paid photo opportunities and add-on experiences, the extra costs add up quickly and can feel excessive. Overall, it's a great experience -- especially with the interactive add-ons -- just be prepared for some extra spending along the way. read more

We randomly found this place when I came to visit my friend when she first moved to Las Vegas. She immediately got an annual pass for her family because we had so much fun and we were there for hours and didn't see nearly half as much as we could have. There were various activities and it turns out, my niece would make an awesome CSI detective. None of us had any idea of how integral and interconnected the mob was in almost every facet of life back in the 1920s - especially when it comes to the creation and foundation of Las Vegas. read more

AWARENESS: While in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, my friends and I decided to visit the Mob Museum since we all had heard so much about it. NARRATIVE: The Museum is located near the Fremont area of Las Vegas, inside of an old Post Office building. Once you enter the building, you'll be directed to one of three windows to pay for your admission. If you are a military member, veteran or first responder, be sure to ask about a discount. After your ticket purchase, you'll be given an armband and directed to take either the elevators or stairs to the 3rd floor to start your tour which are with narrated or do it yourself. Both have different cost. Each floor offers Mob history with pictures, story-boards, short films and one spot has an actual Mod informed who gives a long talk about his time and history in the Mob. Overall, this was bucket list item I was glad to check off. I'm glad this place exsist. SCENE: The Mob Museum is located on Stewart Avenue, about two blocks from the Fremont Street Experience. RECOMMENDATION(S): Highly recommend! read more

This place was so cool!!! We bought a 2 day Go City pass and this was included with it. We came in on a Saturday afternoon. Drinks are allowed inside, but no outside alcohol. (They have a speakeasy in the basement). The museum is 3 floors and housed in an old post office/courthouse in Vegas. You start on the 3rd floor with the beginnings of the mob, beginnings of Vegas, Al Capone, etc, 2nd floor gets into mob ties with Vegas, a little JFK assassination, prison weapons, famous "hits", and live talks in the courtroom from a former mobster. 1st floor gets into the mob today. Basement houses a very large speakeasy. We spent about 2.5 hours here. So informative and interesting. I do wish they did some kind of timed admission. It was so crowded and difficult to get to the wall labels/artifacts in some rooms. I would HIGHLY recommend this museum if you are a history lover! This was my favorite thing I did on my trip to Vegas. read more

When I was in Vegas a couple of years ago, I went to the Mob Museum and I loved it! I wasn't sure what to expect, but they had lots of well done exhibits. I love learning about history and this was a fun way to get lots of info. Heavy emphasis on prohibition and that surrounding time period in history. Being from Chicago, the Valentine Day massacre was particularly interesting even though it was before my time. Another exhibit that drew me in was the depiction of how El Chapo escaped. It was so elaborate yet so simple. Seeing how the tunnel was dug was fascinating. There is something here for everyone and we really enjoyed it! read more

The one day event was promoted as a free entry for locals. February 14th. A day that marked their 14th anniversary. On Valentines Day. And the two types of stories people enjoy most. Are mob stories made in Vegas. And a love story found in paradox. The way February 14 is matched with love & massacre. A fitting type of harmony. Just as this mob museum was previously the original courthouse of las vegas. You might call that the bittersweet justication of justice. One that applies to both sides of the natural law of human nature. Perhaps exemplified by the 14th amendment, Declaring all citizens are granted equal protection of the law. But when the 18th amendment began prohibiting peoples rights. It was the underground system that provided for the people. When the law took away the happy hour. The mob provided a place of speakeasy. A theme that continues in the recent museum event. People of reformed mobsters who are currently working policemen. Former federal agents now working in the underground speakeasy. Serving Prohibition style cocktails. read more

So much fun, so much information!! Celebrated their 14th anniversary this year on February 14, 2026. Las Vegas, Nevada locals are always free on Valentine's Day. Not only in memory of the Saint Valentine massacre, but also the museum's anniversary. All of the volunteers and staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We love going here annually. So so much information so be ready to read and listen. You could spend hours in this museum and still not experience everything. They have a coffee shop inside with snacks, pastries, drinksdrinks, and coffee, including alcoholic beverages. The speakeasy downstairs is super cool, definitely plan to check it out. read more

So much history and the stories of the mob, the police, and the early years of Vegas are intertwined in a very approachable, informative, and entertaining manner. I do highly recommend attending when you have plenty of time to spend. We went through in about 2 hours, but we could have stayed for 8. You are able to go in and out during the hours the museum is open once you have purchased a ticket. The distillery tasting experience was very interesting with the history of bootlegging showcased while tasting the epic blends and flavors distilled right there in the room. read more

Been to Vegas 87 times and this was my first trip to the Mob Museum. I loved it! I'm sure it's because I enjoy the subject matter so maybe not everyone will rate it five stars. But I liked the mix of stuff to see, stuff to hear, and activities to do. It's starts by walking you through all the history. The stages through the war, the migration to the United States, the growth years, and even a special segment on their impact on Vegas. You learn about things you may have heard in passing like the Valentines Day Massacre. You'll get a glimpse of our corrupt politicians. And even the former Las Vegas mayor who had a role. On my visit they had an ex mobster doing a residency. He tells it like it is with great credibility. But my favorite parts were the interactive experiences. Note, these cost additional, but I highly recommend them. We did two: forensics (like the old CSI TV show) and the police experience (where you learn to be a cop and see what they go through). I won't spoil either but they were VERY fun. Especially the cop experience. read more

I have lived in Vegas for over 20 years and this was my first time ever experiencing the Mob Museum. I had family in town and they wanted to attend, so we did! As an fyi, locals do receive a discount, so look into that if you are local. I paid $8 for parking as the venue has a parking lot adjacent. From literature, you want to allow yourself at least 3 hours to fully enjoy the museum. That's where I missed the mark. I did pay for two different experiences which both were amazing! I purchased the firearm simulator and the distillery tasting and I didn't regret it one bit. Both were a lot of fun! You learn a lot about the mob and Las Vegas. I found it quite interesting. You will see news clips and audio from live court trials. It actually reminded me of the movie Casino. Attending the museum was exciting and informative to say the least. I will definitely be back as I didn't have a chance to experience everything and I am definitely looking forward to it! read more

Very interesting experience! We also booked the moonshine tasting and the forensics lab add ons! The museum itself is great (3 stories + basement) detailing mob history, how it influenced early Vegas casinos/hotels, current organized crime, etc. They also have a speakeasy in the basement and the moonshine is a must try! It was my first time trying and it was so unique that we brought some back as souvenirs. We enjoyed the fuzz and the vanilla based moonshine. They also had a mugshot picture opportunity on the third floor that was really fun! The forensics add on was also pretty interesting and let you analyze your finger prints, play through a simulation case and try to match bullets. Overall recommend this museum and was a family favorite! read more

Wow! Speechless!!! We spent two hours here and literally could've been here longer. We didn't do any of the fun add ons or the Speakeasy The museum is three floors of information. I'm shocked some people brought their little children but hey the world is a harsh place now. All the violence is a such a smack of reality that I'm (thankfully) not familiar with. It's not such a glamorous world like the movies portray I must say every one working here was fantastic!! So knowledgeable and friendly I love places like this (and the people make it what it is) read more

Usually when I visit a new city I like to take in a museum or two - Vegas was no exception, and I had my choice of many since they are chock full of them. The Mob Museum stood out to me for several reasons - the great reviews, the comprehensive content displayed, and my interest in true crime. That being said, I purchased a ticket and made my way over. Formally named The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, the museum is located off-Strip a couple of blocks off the Freemont Street Experience. The museum covers three floors, starting at the top with the early history of the mob and how it took foot in the US, up to present day and its depictions in pop culture. There was a lot of detail, you could easily spend a lot of time here. Because the museum is housed in an old post office and federal courthouse, they integrate some of those aesthetics into the exhibits - including sitting in a courtroom while hearing about the case trials. As always, the museum ends with a gift shop which has a good selection of merch. Overall, I really enjoyed the Mob Museum - definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something outside the typical Vegas attractions. read more

In Vegas for a couple days and was staying in the area - was very excited to see that we were only a couple miles from the Mob Museum. I've heard that it's a great museum. I checked online the day before and saw that there was an early entry for a few dollars off if we arrived between 9 and 11 AM. We got there about 1035 and walked around the third floor, then went to the second floor to see Frank Calabrese Jr speak about his family in the Chicago mob. He was a great speaker, great story teller. The museum was very interesting, going over the history, all the different exhibits were great. This is a topic I don't know much about, but it was very interesting learning about all the connections nation and worldwide. Whether you are into movies like Casino or want to know more about this mysterious lifestyle, this is definitely a must see! Make sure you see Frank Calabrese Jr speak- he is great! read more

I've heard great things about The Mob Museum for years and was excited to finally visit during my recent visit to Vegas! The Museum is located near Fremont Street in an old Post Office building.  We purchased tickets when we arrived and were then directed to the elevator and went up to the third floor to start the tour. There are a total of three floors and they are full of history, pictures, videos, staff answering questions and some interactive elements. We spent about 2 and a half hours here but could have easily spent many more hours as there is so much to take in. I'd recommend giving yourself plenty of time to explore.  While we were visiting, reformed mobster Frank Calabrese Jr. was giving a talk in the historic courtroom. Hearing his family story was worth the visit alone. I was captivated by his 45 minute speech and it left me wanting to learn more.  In addition to the museum, there is a speakeasy located in the basement of The Mob Museum and it is included in the museum's general admission. We didn't have a chance to enjoy the speakeasy, but it's worth just going to the basement to see more artifacts and history.  Overall, I'd highly recommend a visit to the Mob Museum when visiting Las Vegas! This is such a unique experience! read more

So while we were down in "old Las Vegas" we decided to stop here as it was included in the City Go pass. I enjoyed this so much more than I expected! You can upgrade with a speakeasy moonshine sampler (21+, of course), a crime lab event, or a police simulation with threat reduction. Not all of us were 21+ but we did the simulation. They made a mistake with our ticket time and since we had a walking tour reservation, they actually brought someone down to run thru it with just our group so we could still make the tour! I thought that was amazingly nice! Another set did the crime lab and said it was very fun. You can walk through the speakeasy and check it out or get drinks. 3 floors of info about the mob. I spent time in NJ/NY growing up and thought I knew a lot but it turns out there was more to know! Be aware there are some crime scene photos (black and white) that were a little grisly, so super squeamish people or super young kids may not enjoy all of the museum. It used to be a Federal court where some mobsters were tried, and they have the benches where you can sit. Definitely worth the visit! read more

We had to find some things to do in Las Vegas, and I oddly think Mob stuff is cool, so we had to stop by! We were here a lot longer than we expected, and it was super cool to check out. Only complaint I have is how crowded it gets. It's hard to read things if people are taller or trying to cut in front of you, so it did get a little overwhelming. Overall, we got to see everything we wanted while also learning so much about the history of mobs and crimes. read more
