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

Las Vegas is a city that doesn't sleep as the casinos/resorts keep you entertained 24/7. If you wish to do something else, a must-visit venue is the Mob Museum located a few blocks from the Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas. A converted post office building (and on the National Registry of Historic Places), the museum meshes the history of the mob and the growth of Las Vegas. Sin City would not have grown or prospered without the mob and the museum's three-storied building + basement does a great job. Many artifacts such as the wall where the St Valentine's Massacre occurred and the machine gun used, old video footage, montages, and docents on site all provide the great history and story. With the mob's control and influence in Las Vegas diminished through the efforts of the FBI and corporations able to build and operate hotels & casinos, the mob was no longer in control of "sin city." The end of the tour highlights some of the modern efforts of law enforcement. For an additional fee, you are able to participate in a shooting range (using sims, not actual weapons). I spent close to four hours on site, taking my time, reading and experiencing the many aspects of the museum. There is a small café selling snacks, coffee, beer, and moonshine; the downstairs basement is a speakeasy; and there is a small giftshop selling items for you to remember your visit. Downstairs in the basement is an old school "Speak Easy" where you can taste/purchase some liquor. A good break from the hustle and bustle of the casinos, to further entice visitors, they offer military discounts too. read more

I've always wanted to see this museum. Im glad I came too. The place is clean n parking is good. Bathroom are clean as well. Their gift shop is amazing too. I found myself learning more about the mob style life. A lot of information on them. I've learned a lot on their own history. What touch me was how these famous people are involved. President Kennedy is what blew my mind as I learned more about him n his involvement in the mob issues. I love watch those kinds of movies too. This place is amazing n has a lot of history to learn. Thanks again n I will be back again read more

We made time for the Mob Museum on our trip and it was 1000% worth it. The history of the mob, especially within LV, was so interesting. The added bourbon tasting was so fun! The guide was very knowledgeable and fun to joke around with. We stopped in the speakeasy before heading out and I loved the themed drinks. Definitely grab the old fashioned!! read more

Amazing and entertaining! Who would have thought Mob museum would be this fun and interesting! Situated in the old federal court house - it is classy and well organized. Self paced tour guides you through beginning of organized crime in the US up to the present time! Of particular note are displays relating to Las Vegas relationships to the organized crime and more! In the basement of the museum there is a distillery making their own moonshine. For an add-on you can get a tour, talk and sampling of this distillery which was very interesting... read more

Great news, my nephew works here and got us free passes to see the Museum. Ironic that we are from Chicago where the famous Valentine's Day Massacre occurred by Al Capone (notorious gangster) mob. It's an interesting dive in to the Mob history in the US. It even shows how it spread across the country including you guessed it Las Vegas. I say, if you have the mob, it's where money is to be had. Whether it's liquor, gambling or territories. At the end of the tour, you can also get a whiskey taste test (not incl in reg tickets). This is where my nephew works. He explains the history of prohibition and the whiskey produced in the basement of the Mob Museum. All in all, interesting to visit on this old bldg and the memorabilia it holds. read more

I loved my experience here! I enjoyed it so much that I even shelled out the $25 for our corny souvenir photos. I thought the exhibits with digital screens/movies were kind of slow and some stuff is a bit cheesy, but it's a museum. All the staff are helpful and seem happy to be there. The docent at the Valentine's Day Massacre wall was knowledgeable and fun. When I found out Frank Calabrese, Jr. was speaking, I was so excited that I risked leaving for the airport a bit later. HIGHLY recommend Frank's talk to hear what it was like for someone raised in the life. Story aside, he's also a very compelling speaker. read more

First off, this ain't your grandma's dusty museum. We're talking about a deep dive into the dark and twisty world of organized crime, right in the heart of Sin City. It's practically next door to the Fremont Street Experience, so you can go from vintage Vegas vibes to vintage villainy. I hit up the St. Valentine's Day Massacre exhibit (chilling!) and even caught a future mob story sesh with Frank Calabrese Jr. Seriously, where else can you get that kind of insider info? And don't even get me started on The Underground, their speakeasy. Finding it is half the fun, and once you whisper the password, you're in for a night of live music, moonshine tastings, and killer cocktails. We enjoyed extra dirty martinis and The Temperature Does: a papaya infused concoction that'll make your taste buds sing. All mixers made in house. Oh, and did I mention the Starlight Lounge?!! It just opened on 10/10/25, and it's the perfect spot to chill after all that mobster madness. read more

I've been to a few museums and this one is really impressive! All aspects of crime syndicates are outline in detail. While the photos might be a little too graphic for young children, it really shows the reality how gruesome the crime scenes were. The most impressive display was the 2nd floor with the court and the court hallway. It felt like I was in a real courthouse! Parking lot is rather small so the attendant will redirect you to park next door in neighboring lot against the way. read more

We have got to come back for more of this incredible journey through mob, law enforcement, and International (with a focus on USA) crime history. The Las Vegas movie history was an added plus! Well done. We loved how there were so many staff members circulating throughout the museum who gave in-person presentations, were eager to answer questions and who added to the museum experience by mentioning things about the displays we might have missed. We did the Crime Lab immersion experience and that was fun. Our favorite part was conducting an autopsy from an actual case! Very cool. We are eager to return. So werll read more

Really enjoyed the visit to the Mob Museum. I was attending an event in the downstairs bar, but the museum was open during the event. Our group took a tour through the museum and really enjoyed the history lesson. Plenty of cool relics, photos and history of Las Vegas.

I loved coming here! Well first let's say I have an interest in the history of the mob, and love going to a distillery. We were able to get a discount using our student ID. The staff throughout the entire museum were so kind and informative! They were extremely engaging as well. Not in an annoying way but definitely informative, interactive and told us the best way to walk through. The food was GREAT. Moonshine and other drinks were amazing! I will be returning for it all. read more

The museum was a lot more extensive than I expected! To be honest, it was a little too much reading for me, particularly as there were so many people and it was hard to get close enough to the signs to read them. But they balanced it well with displays and short videos. Please be aware that you will see brutal crime scene photos. To my recollection, these photos were all in black and white, but it could still be jarring. The space is also very crowded. I would recommend going as early in the day as possible. The exhibits starts on floor 3, but you can take the elevator if you don't want to climb the stairs. read more

Fun little museum, great for a rainy afternoon in downtown Las Vegas. Located walking distance from the Fremont Experience inside an old courthouse used for the famous Kefauver Hearings into organized crime. The museum has a bunch of exhibits and artifacts about mobs and organized crime in America, particularly around prohibition in the 1920s. Also has a speakeasy style bar in the basement. Good for 1-3 hours, depending how much you want to read. $35/adult as of Feb 2025, discounts for locals, students, and military. read more

I was a little reluctant to spend my time in a place about criminals. There is no romanticizing the mob lifestyle or the mobsters whose names nearly everyone knows. I learned that abolishing the 18th Amendment (Prohibition) was one of the campaign promises of the first FDR presidential election. Hmmm. We were privileged to hear a 45 minute presentation by Frank Calabrese, Jr. Frank's father was a member of the Chicago Outfit. Frank told a compelling story of how the mob lifestyle damaged his father beyond recognition and very nearly took Frank, his brother and uncle, too. I thought we would cruise through there in an hour, but our visit turned into three. We did not even spend time in the interactive exhibits. Many other guests told us these experiences were really absorbing. Don't miss it. read more

It was such a fun and interactive experience for all ages. It's a small building but packed with content and creativity. I would highly recommend listening to the talks, going through the gun simulation, and exploring the lab. It's a very educational way to see from the perspective of law enforcement. Walking through the exhibit they also incorporate a lot of interactive activities. One that stood out to me was the blood pact walk through choice. The staff there are very friendly and helpful, you can tell they have a passion for sharing knowledge. You can get to the speakeasy through the museum or through the side entrance. I'd highly recommend taking the side entrance at least once. The doorman is highly interactive and makes it a fun short experience. To find the speakeasy you can ask the staff for directions, but it's behind the building down the stairs. Parking is pretty small, but very convenient. If there aren't any parking there parking staff will know how to direct you. Definitely coming again! I'm raving about it to everyone I know read more

When in Vegas, aside from gambling; why not partake in some of the history. This museum has been on my list and im glad I finally got to see it. Currently, Frank Calabrese Jr has a residency here and there is scheduled times where you get to hear him tell his story which is worth the listen. This museum from start to finish had tons of information and memorabilia to learn about. There was a ton of history about pertinent times in our nation that involved the mob that I learned about. Overall, I enjoyed my time and highly recommend if wanting something to do indoors that doesn't include losing money aside from a ticket purchase. read more

I purchased the premier pass online and went to the Mob Museum on a Saturday afternoon. Parking was 8.00 next to the museum. I added the Crime Lab and Firearm simulator training interactive experiences to my ticket. I arrived past 1:30 pm, the time the Crime lab started. However, manager Shawn told me there were no refunds and that he would try to get me into another time slot. Shawn got me into a 3:30 pm Crime Lab experience, and I was grateful for that! Ensure you get to your experiences on time because there's no guarantee they will find an opening. I started with the firearms simulation training, which was interesting! You function as a police officer and have to make split-second decisions between not shooting a victim and shooting a perpetrator who will try to shoot you. The firearms training was exhilarating, and I wish it had lasted longer than 15 minutes! The Crime Lab was educational, and I enjoyed that. Anton, the instructor, was highly knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to. He informed me that I could convert my ticket into an annual membership so I could return as much as I wanted. Management plans to have events in the future, so the yearly membership provides excellent value if you're a local. All the staff were pleasant and eager to give directions or take pictures. I took a photo in the electric chair wearing a fedora, which cast an awkward shadow around my face due to the electric chair bulb, so a cheerful staff member took pictures of me in the electric chair without my hat. I went to the speakeasy, and they let me take pictures in a VIP or tour room while they transitioned to hosting another group. The Mob Museum has a courtyard outside with a woman singing and a keyboardist jamming! I loved my Mob Museum experience, and I highly recommend it! read more

Looking for something to do with my true crime loving bestie while in Las Vegas, we settled on The Mob Museum. They say it can be done in 90 minutes, but I would beg to differ. We could have spent a few more hours reading and listening to the guided tour and learning about all things crime and mob related. The displays were interactive - allowing you to hear recordings and see so many historical references and we loved it. You can get your mug shot taken and watch short videos throughout the 3 floors. We also opted for 2 'experiences' with our ticket - the Crime Lab and the Distillery. Highly recommend. Ciera in the crime lab was so fun! We got to conduct a virtual autopsy, analyze bullets under a microscope, and even do our own fingerprints to see which mobster our prints most resembled. FUN! Casey in the distillery was an absolute joy and fountain of knowledge. We got to taste 5 of their moonshine offerings while learning about the history of prohibition and how it related to the mob. LOVED IT. The gift shop is also cute and we found some fun gifts to bring home for others. We ended up missing our dinner reservations due to spending so much time here, so we landed in the basement speakeasy (called The Underground) to end the evening. It is easily accessible with museum entry, or there is a 'secret' side door outside that you can use to access it without buying a ticket. We just missed the food offerings as the kitchen had just closed, but the drinks were fun and yummy. Overall, would definitely recommend to others! read more

Excellent museum. Self-paced. Tons of information presented in an entertaining manner. 4 floors of exhibits presented chronologically. Very easy to follow and absorb. We could have enjoyed the entire day there. The speaker, Frank Calabrese Jr., was great. Kept us on the edge of our seats during the entire 40 minute presentation. Lecture was so good that we bought a copy of his book. The speakeasy is not to be missed. It's like stepping back in time. The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They really enhance the experience. Arrive early in the day and plan to take your time going through the years of mob history. This museum is well worth your time. read more

This place is a must see during your Vegas trip! The website does not do it justice. Incredibly curated history of the mob, history of Vegas and its casinos and gambling. Beautifully well done! You can tell a lot of time, effort, research and money went into putting this all together. We were extremely impressed. This should be on everyone's schedule when visiting Vegas. And the underground Speakeasy (see separate review) was icing on the cake! Sadly we only had two hours which is enough to get the surface level but we would've loved to had another hour or two. Super fun and educational read more

For this visit, I added on the firearm simulation was was super realistic and fun. You had an instructor who guided you through the process of three different scenarios including a live action one.

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

This museum was right across the street from our hotel, so on our first day in Vegas, all we had to do was take a short walk and we were there. They were open on NYE from 9-4 and there is a speakeasy in the basement. I think admission was like $45 and there is a discount if you're local or law enforcement. Sadly we were neither, but we had a great time. One of the first things you get to do is take souvenir photos and the rest is mostly reading with a few artifacts from old casinos, old court cases, etc. they even have a wall from the St Valentine Massacre that shows all the original bullet holes. You get to see photos of life prior to the mob influence when m hotels were mostly cowboy influenced. That certainly changed decades later. It's not all focused on Italian mafia, and even discusses different crime families in different states and how everything eventually connects. The funniest thing is it talks about typical crimes the mob committed and most of it is tax evasion and things our own federal government does. I recommend heading down to the bar after. It's not on their menu, but we got a really good Bloody Mary. read more

You gotta go. Clean, well organized, good lay out, and great staff. Next time in Vegas we'd for sure go back. There's a lot to see and read, and we didn't get to everything in our 3 hours there. If you wanna park on site they have a lot and on the day we went it was $8 per car. They had security out front, the employees could radio each other if things were needed, and the check in line moved quickly. We rolled in with 14 people and several experiences booked, they set us up with QR code wrist bands and explained all the steps. From being greeted out front, to the check in counter, the Crime Lab experience, and the Distillery experience- they crushed it. The Crime lab was cool, interesting, and gross all at the same time. Most of the group LOVED it, you get to try your hand matching evidence and determining cause of death in a few instances. I wish I remembered the name of the man who ran the lab, he was even kind enough to take a group pick for us. The Distillery was by far my favorite, she crushed her presentation, and the moonshine was interesting and fun to taste. Thanks y'all, we had a blast. read more

Saw this place and figured my husband would like it so I went along and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it too. Very interesting place we got the museum tour, the Crime Lab experience and tastings in the Underground Speakeasy & Distillery. The crime lab was fun and interesting . The tasting was fun and informative as well. The selection in moonshines was great. The tasting guide really knows his stuff. We had a great time but needed more time to explore the museum there is so much to see. We definitely want to come back and stay longer next time so we can check on everything. Anthony Ruggiano Jr an actual mobster was speaking but we were not able to stay for that.something else to see when we come back. We will definitely be back next visit to Vegas. read more

Definitely worth a visit and not only much better than expected it was also nothing like I expected. I would say the only downside is that they stretch the "mob" part a bit further than they needed to adding what seems to be off topics linked back to mob activity. In other words, it depends on how you look at it. There are three floors to explore. The audio tour is self-paced and a great add-on. The crime lab is okay if you have zero experience doing anything like that before. The distillery tour in the basement is almost a must. Why a distillery tour? Well, besides drinking you do learn a lot about prohibition. Next to the distillery is a speakeasy as well. It seems you can bypass the museum entirely if that is all you are interested in. They do host events as well, and you might want to check out the calendar to see what is going on before buying tickets. As a bonus (or maybe a negative for some people) it is near Fremont Street. Not close enough to fall into everything that you might think of for that "experience", but close enough to walk a block or two and be there. read more

The highlight was the Firearms simulator, I won't give anything away, but super fun 10/10. The talk by Reformed mobster Frank Calabrese Jr. was so engaging 8.5/10 (free).

Here from Cali on a girls trip celebrating one of our diamond friends for her 40th birthday. She recommended this place so let's go. Parking, is $8 and we paid $34 for our tickets online. Also, they have a $2 discount via yelp that I didn't discover till I purchased my ticket. The museum itself has lots of history. They have a great gift shop too. People, actually came in dressed like old school gangster. It was totally a vibe to see pinstriped, fur, and more.I can't wait to return because next time I'm dressing like an old school gangsta. They have a restaurant. They serve food, drinks, and more. Everyone were super nice with our large group. They actually put us in their V.I.P. lounge without even asking.
