    This was a great experience! It’s fun for all ages which is nice. They even have a secret password for the day to enter in the underground bar the fun way through the back outside for the 21+ crowd. It’s packed full of history and every level has videos and interacting exhibits with cost a little more but so worth it. The best thing is once you get a general admissions ticket, you have access to the museum all day until they close. Absolutely recommend this as a must see in Vegas!

    I wouldn’t call it the ‘museum’ - more like the interactive exhibition about the history of Las Vegas and well-known basic facts about the gangs. It has three stores and a bar but lacks unique and authentic exhibits. Some data is outdated - the display about crime gangs in Russia is incorrect, they used data from the 90s, and the gangs they mentioned do not exist anymore. It's fun to stop for an hour, but I think even $20 is too much for the ticket, and I definitely wouldn’t pay more. On the positive side - the staff is very nice, the bar seemed authentic and the bathrooms are squeaky clean. The place has potential, but don't expect much from your visit.

    Thought it would just be okay, turned out to be fantastic. I would recommend, quite interesting history, and done in a really interesting way. There are things to read, little movies, artifacts, etc. you can rent the audio tour for $5, we did not and we're still there 3 hours without staying to have a drink on the speakeasy.

    My friend decided to have her birthday here - ending the night at the Speakeasy, of course! 🍸 We didn't get a chance to look around the museum because we had two "experiences" scheduled at specific times. We did the Firearm Training Simulator and the Crime Lab which were both fun and informative. Both gentlemen who hosted/guided the experiences were fantastic. But the Speakeasy (for us) is what we were looking forward to. Going back to the beginning for a minute. The building itself is a restored US Post Office from the 1930s so it has a legit historical feel to it. This ambience carries into the Speakeasy which can be accessed from inside the museum. If you're more adventurous, you can exit the museum and walk around to the building's east side where you'll see steps leading down to the basement. But you better know the password or you won't get in! The Speakeasy had a fun vibe - dim lighting, great decor, good crowd. There's a little secret room down here too so try to book it if you're with a group of friends! We had a great time at this little gem!

    What an incredible learning experience. The staff is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their specific area with complete timelines. The amount of artifacts contained in this museum is simply astounding. The details that is presented with each artifact is unlike anything I have ever seen. I highly recommend including the audio as part of your tour. Allow a minimum of 3 plus hours to take advantage of what they have to offer I highly recommend visiting this museum.

    This was on our list of places to visit. You definitely need to go here. This museum is very well put together and very informative. You will need a minimum of 2 hours to see everything. There is a nice gift shop as you get to the end. The staff was wonderful and they really enhanced the self guided tour. There is an elevator of you need assistance. Don't miss this place!!!

    Very well done 👏 Very clean, extremely well ran, beautiful historic building. I loved the many levels of this museum with tons of interesting rooms full of info on the gangs, police, murders, prohibition, and even Vegas at that time. Beautiful displays, and the interactive court room was really cool. Be sure to visit the speak easy after. Do the police lineup photo at the beginning, it's not expensive to buy! The gift shop is awesome, I grabbed a few things before leaving. Very very well done.

    This is totally up my alley I love mob movies and have read so much about them so being able to go to something like this was definitely on my bucket list! The courthouse, the hand written notes, photos ,stories and so on were just amazing! You have to sit in the electric chair and have someone pull the handle without them knowing it makes a noise and our group definitely had fun with that! Great time and they have a bar downstairs! So cool!

    Interesting museum. They have 3 floors of history and allow an interactive experience as well. Well done here. There are a lot of visitors so I would say go early in the week and early in the day. It was pretty packed but well planned and lots of great information. You can easily spend over 3 hours looking at the various exhibits. We did the shooting experience that was cool. They have a nice gift shop as well.

    Such an interesting piece of history! I thought I knew alot about the mob, but I was blown away by the massive amount I never knew. Historic post office/court house turned Mob Museum is a not to miss stop while in Vegas. Interactive portions, so many photos! I really enjoyed this!

    Really neat place! We spent about 3 hours here. They have the original Valentine's Day massacre brick wall - very cool. Lots of history to digest. We did the crime lab experience and my son did the firearms training experience - they were all good. We made reservations online and it was not that crowded. Very nice gift shop.

    Our sister-in-law came into town and are big fans of this kind of stuff. I am glad they wanted to go because I probably hadn’t. Now I want to bring other visitors. It is very well done, organized, laid out well and wasn’t busy. 4 adults and an 11 month old, went in the middle of the week. They have a snack bar area too, which was perfect because it took us just over 2 hours. Highly recommend sitting and watching the courtroom next to the snack bar and each video throughout.

    VISITED MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2023 Because my twin and I are from the city of Chicago, we decided to checkout this museum. Certainly, not a disappointed. Lots of interesting information from the begining of the mobster era until the downfall. However, I'm sure it still exists but not as obvious as before. Yes, you will learn a lot of how it came to Las Vegas but other parts of the country as well. Be forewarned that there a lot of gruesome images that are not for your little ones. Frankly, I wouldn't be my kids unless they are in their teens but even then I wouldn't want them to be influenced. Also, if you ask, they will tell you it takes a few hours, but I believe if you wanted to read everything and see everything, it would take half a day. Also, if you are military or a student, be sure to use to get a nice discount. It's a $30 ticket for general admission. There is also a speak easy where you can drink and have a meal. Pretty cool! OVERALL: Be sure to check out while in Vegas

    Interesting and interactive activity. I got the package with the two interactive experiences (training + crime lab) and I had a blast. I wish I had more time to explore the museum— so much information, so many interesting facts are presented! I feel like I had to run through the floors in the 3.5 hours spent there. I would definitely need to go back get and explore more.

    The museum experience is very enlightening and quite in depth. Definitely plan on at least 2 to 4 hours to go through most of it. Quite a bit of reading but also lots of photographs and display as well. You absolutely must go to the speakeasy and try one of their prohibition era cocktails. Decent little food selection as well. Bartenders are all dressed and quite capable.

  • 4/5 The K. 3 months ago on Google • 44 reviews New
    Super great experience. I wish I was told in advance, at the box office, that there was an event going on and a section would be closed off. It affected things I didn't get to see and some people made it feel uncomfortable trying to read the walls in the bar area. I was in town, only for a little while and I would have given it 5stars otherwise. Really great history, helps understand some older movie references and things.

    This place is amazing. We were in there for hours, I don't know how but we didn't see everything. We can't wait until our friends come into town so we can take them . I took almost 200 photos only posted a random few. It's something you absolutely need to see in person

    This museum was fun and informative all at the same time! It takes you on an extensive history of the Mob, from past to present, and also has a display regarding depictions of the Mafia in film/TV. They also go into detail with the rise of the Mafia in Las Vegas itself. To make the experience even better, the day I went to the museum (May 8, 2022), they served free mimosas for Mother's Day! There's a speakeasy in the basement as well, in case you want to have a stronger drink. I highly recommend going there, and I also recommend buying your tickets online (the "happy hour" tickets have a lower admission price). The price for parking is $8.00, but it's a flat rate. Check it out!

    This was so fun! The whiskey tasting and presentation about moonshine during prohibition was awesome! If you only do 1 of the experiences, definitely do the whiskey one! I wish I could have stayed longer. I could have spent the whole day in there!!

  • 5/5 David B. 11 months ago on Google
    Super cool and amazing history museum of the MOB. You can easily spend hours here reading and seeing everything they have. Well worth the money. To start out with you, you will need to pay for parking outside. I believe it was like $8-$10. Once inside, you will be asked if you want the basic tour $30 or the premier $48. I suggest the premier for the full experience. It gets pretty busy during the afternoon, so I will suggest going really early or late past 5 pm. There is like 3 or floors with different things to see and experience. Make sure to check out the underground speakeasy on the bottom floor and try out their unique drinks. You can also grab a bite to eat there as well. Overall it was an amazing experience. Love it all. Definitely coming back and bringing my friends to it.

    Super interesting and amazing museum !!! I love all things crime and this museum was dope. It was less than five minutes from my hotel and admission to get in took less than a minute. It had a lot of exhibits and information. It has three floors and has all sorts of artifacts. I loved this museum, definitely a visit if you’re into true crime while in Vegas!

    Went in with friends, Nevada residents get a discount! We went with premier for the experience and WOW was it worth while! We started with the speak easy that turned out to be the wrong idea- as theirs a secret knock to learn to get in the back door 😉 the fire arms bit was extremely fun and interactive for anyone wishing to try it. And the distillery tour gets you "buzzed" and ready for the rest of the walk for the 4 floors of history and fun. Anyone in the family will surely have fun coming here, that's a promise!!

    If you watch the First 48 or any other crime show you will love this place. They have gone above and beyond to put as much detail as possible about Mobs, Organized Crime, and even more. Pictures, videos, guns, replicas, and the actual St Valentine Day massacre bricks from the warehouse. Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy it all. Be sure to buy tickets in advance. I got the audio tour and it was worth it. I would go again. Worth the price. Good staff, very helpful and knowledgeable. Very clean facilty.

    If you have time it's worth the visit! Give yourself around 3 hours just to walk through it all. It closes at 9p so arrive before 6p. There are 3 floors and a speakeasy in the basement. If you're lucky you'll be there during a random "police raid" and see how it happened during prohibition. Go on a weekday for happy hour price tickets. Crime lab was a super fun interactive experience! The whole museum is a very cool experience and the staff were all ridiculously kind and helpful.

    The Museum is a nonprofit organization with a mission to advance the public understanding of organized crime’s history and impact on American society. The Museum offers a provocative, contemporary look at these topics through hundreds of artifacts and immersive exhibits.

    I enjoyed visiting this museum very much, it was also a fun experience. I felt I was going back in history. The best was taking a photo in the line up booth, my daughter and I couldn't stop laughing🤣looking at our pictures. So when in Las Vegas, if you get a chance, visit the Mob museum😀. There is also a starting and ending point of the tour, I was amazed how well it was coordinated. "Fuggedaboudit"

    This is definitely a fun experience. The museum does a nice job of displays paired with informative videos. The courtroom is a cool part of the exhibit. We also bought the weapons training and distillery tasting. Recommend both. They were fun. We had some drinks in the speakeasy and a snack. Good job on this one Vegas.

    Loved it. Took the moonshine tasting tour and the crime lab. Both were amazing. This place has a lot of information and history to go over so be prepared to spend some time here. Gift shop was amazing. This place deserves more credit than it does. It has to be a must stop for everyone who wants to learn about las vegas.

    Staff was very friendly. We got there at 10:30 am and it was already quite busy so be aware of that. 3 floors of winding exhibit so there is a lot to see and take in. There are lots of photographs, video, and artifacts from the time period. It was a fun experience. The speak easy was nice and the staff there were very friendly and service was excellent.

    This is really the experience of a lifetime. If you have any interest in organized crime of the past, then you must visit this museum. Don't hesitate to sign up for the interactive exhibits. The crime lab is awesome. There is so much to see here in the staff is extremely friendly.

    This was such a great museum! We did the basement distillery and speakeasy which were informative and entertaining. I learned a lot from the host who went over the history of prohibition and its ramifications. I also did the interactive shooting experience which we made it out alive and successfully made an arrest. All in all it was a great experience. I was impressed at all the exhibits and will go back again my next trip out.

    If you're looking for a non-gaming activity in Vegas, this place is a great choice. Very clean place, and ticketing was organized and quick. You'll have 3 floors of self-guided touring, so you can go as fast or slow as you want to. There are places along the way to grab a seat and watch informative videos. There are also spots inside to grab a drink or snacks. The exhibits very well done. Glad we added this place to our list of events while visiting the city.

    This was an absolute blast! The people who run this Museum make it a point to ensure that you have every question answered and that you can find what you are looking for. Some of the memorabilia in the shop is just amazing! I also think I found a couple of relatives LOL. Some of the video is extremely graphic therefore, this is not a place to take your children!! Lots of learning involved and it was very educational!! Very clean and we'll run!

    Wow! So much incredible history! Make sure you plan on spending some time here (it took us over 4 hours, but we read literally everything). The extras are worth it as well. We added the distillery tour, if you go on a week day you actually get to see them in action as they run 5 days a week. Loved hanging out in the little pub with quaint silent movies & mob era decor as well as drinks & eats.

    Very interesting and informative experience. I need to go back and spend about 3x as much time there, an hour and a half wasn't enough to digest everything properly if you want to study and understand. It should be enough time for a quick walkthrough. The speakeasy sounded fun, but didn't have time to visit. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Great visit!

    Do you wanna take a rest gambling at the casino and want something more cultural? Then come here to learn about the history of Las Vegas. It can be very graphical and cruel, so I would not recommend to bring small kids here. I learnt a lot about the story of Vegas and in that sense it was very cultural and educative. Go with a strong mind and stomach!

    It was an amazing place. So much history but presented in a fun and interesting way. We went twice. There is also a speakeasy in the basement that is a lot of fun. Alcoholic drinks and food. If they're like an early speakeasy. You have to have a code word to get into the door. It's pretty cool

    Neat displays and short videos to check out. They give you a wrist band so you can go in and out anytime that day up till closing. It was neat learning also about the history of Las Vegas in addition to the general history of the mob and the law enforcement that chased them.

    Highly recommend!! Fantastic production quality, the entire experience was interesting and kept us entertained the entire time we were here. I’m amazed at how well everything in the museum was put together and on display. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in Vegas. I think buying premium tickets is worth the price. If you are law enforcement you even qualify for a discount. Or if you visit after 5pm there are discounted tickets. Things to keep in mind: -This is a self-guided tour experience. -The content is extensive, so you may want to allot at least 4 hours. We went at 6:45pm and didn’t finish in time, as the location closed at 9pm. -The museum is located near Fremont. May be a good place to spend the day if you’re on vacation and in the area.

  • 5/5 Shonna B. 2 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    Fascinating. Unfortunately, we had a small child with us who got bored less than halfway through, so we left. We will absolutely go back, without children, to enjoy the whole experience. Plan on at least 3 hours if you go. Parking was $8, so plan on that as well. They do have an audio tour device for $5, will try that when we go back as well

  • 5/5 Hannah W. 5 months ago on Google
    The Mob Museum was such a great experience. You can tell the Goodmans really worked hard to make this as informative and interactive as it was! So cool to learn about Las Vegas roots, and if you’re a fan of learning about organized crime, this is the place for you! They also have an underground Speakeasy, which you have to have the password for (they give you hints on their Facebook page) but once in, it’s like you’re in a movie. It’s a real speakeasy! Over all a super fun experience!

  • 5/5 Ice W. 5 months ago on Google
    I was really just expecting to see one or two interesting objects, but this place really outdid itself. Well worth the visit. Really teaches you about the mob history of Las Vegas, as well as nationally.

  • 5/5 William D. 5 months ago on Google
    The restored neoclassical post office & then courthouse is where the Mob Museum resides near Fremont Street. We took our time viewing and reading the many displays in the three stories the museum fills. Very informative and fun tour. $8 to park in the lot next to the museum for two hours. Mob museum underground bar is pretty cool as well. Numerous restaurants nearby.

  • 5/5 Juli S. 5 months ago on Google
    genuinely a great experience! they had so much information about mobs, especially mobs in Vegas! they also had mini videos every so often and fun experiences! i definitely recommend doing the crime lab!

  • 5/5 apachemix l. 5 months ago on Google
    Very interesting and loved the self tour, also the different experiences. 👌 will definitely visit again. Take at least 3-4 hours of your time so you can visit everything. The restaurant in the basement is very dark so be prepared to need a flashlight to see menu. Could use more help, staff was not available and didn't wait on us for awhile... some people got up and left due to no wait staff. Other than that everything else was very cool.

  • 5/5 Oliver Z. 5 months ago on Google
    A must see if you're in Las Vegas. The tour with the "experiences" and the audio guide are worth every penny. The museum is spread out over three floors and including the crime lab and moonshine experience, it's hours one can spend there. Good thing, the ticket is good for the whole day so one can leave and return later.

    Awesome museum! Came here on the first day of my L.V trip and I loved it! Located super close to Freemont St, so once you finish the museum tour you can walk along Freemont. Tons of cool exhibits, photos, memorabilia and more. Be sure to take your time and read everything this museum has on display. There’s even a cute speakeasy on the lower level, but there was a bit of a wait to enter so I decided to pass. But definitely recommend adding this on your list of things to do! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming! 10/10

  • 5/5 7RUN2 2 years ago on Google
    Zachary was so knowledgeable and kind. He showed us many of the famous artifacts and explained the history that went along with them in a short time due to our late arrival. He was AWESOME! He should have his own tip jar, even though we know he cannot accept them. We really enjoyed our short time with him. We will abaolutely be back again with more time to visit next time we are in Vegas. The museum is very cool! Five stars all the way.

    What an outstanding experience. So thoughtfully curated, completely fascinating and really felt you gained so much historical information in an engaging and interesting way. The team were brilliant, really enhanced the experience. Cannot recommend the additional exhibits highly enough. Chris, who led our Firearms training and Eric who led us through the Crime Lab were both legendary!! Definitely take the time to visit and leave a donation for the great work they do.

    This place is just awesome!! There is no other way to put it. Worth every penny, and they do have extra stuff you can do on the side of a small cost. It's definitely one of the best museums I've ever been to. The staff was awesome and extremely helpful 👏

  • 5/5 Terry K. 8 months ago on Google
    Top shelf all the way, but the staff really shines here. They’re passionate about sharing their knowledge and ensuring you’re getting the most out of your visit. Pro Tip #1: Go early and do the Distillery Tour and Firearm Simulator. Pro Tip #2: Go on a day where there’s a special event going on. IMO, the highlight is the St Valentine’s Day Massacre exhibit.

  • 4/5 Brendan K. 4 months ago on Google
    The Mob Museum is a cool museum in Downtown Las Vegas near Fremont Street. I wish the museum had more actual artifacts. There are a lot of photos with descriptions, but not many actual artifacts in the museum. I got a discounted admission for being a NV resident which was nice and seemed a fair price of $17 for admission.

  • 5/5 Wesley C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Wonderful and must try experience to do while in Las Vegas. We did the general admission which is at your own pace. We didn't get the distillery tour in the basement. The tour starts from the top floor. Great history and interactive displays. Could easily spend >2 hours here.

  • 5/5 Salima H. 4 months ago on Google
    The Mob Museum in Vegas is not your average Sin City experience. It's like this cool blend of history and a hint of underworld charm – a definite must-visit if you're up for something a bit off the beaten path. Just a heads up, there's some serious reading involved, and they don't shy away from showing you some pretty intense images and videos. Not the MoMA, that's for sure. The museum is situated in the old Las Vegas Post Office and Courthouse. It immerses you into Vegas’ gritty history, mob connections, and the rise of gambling and casinos. You don’t want to skip the video from the Kefauver Hearings in the courtroom. Plan to spend 2-3 hours; there's tons to take in. Oh, and whatever you do, don't miss the Underground Speakeasy and Distillery in the basement that takes you back to the prohibition days. Major props to the staff, too – super friendly and helpful. The building is totally accessible, thanks to the lift outside and the elevators inside which makes it a breeze to access all the floors. Bottom line, The Mob Museum is a Vegas essential for a different kind of adventure. Dive into the city's gritty past with a side of glam and history. Trust me, you won't want to miss this journey!

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 3 months ago on Google New
    Highly recommend doing the Use of Force simulator - it's quite short (under 15 minutes) but it's a fun police shoot simulator with blowback pistols. Ends with a live action scenario! The CSI lab is interesting too and hands on experience but if you do only one, do Use of Force. Overall a great highlight for Vegas trip. Very professionally done and super interesting!

    $29.95 for admission. $7 to park for four hours. And it was money well spent, I truly enjoyed the museum. It had exhibits on various criminal organizations such as the Italian mafia, the Medellín cartel run by Pablo Escobar, the cartels operating in Mexico, as well as the history of various criminal organizations and how they've progressed throughout the years. It also exhibited the techniques employed by law enforcement agencies across the country to catch the criminal organizations. A very interesting museum and it has a 1920's style speakeasy in the basement with a distillery. Highly recommend!

    I was surprised at how many interesting exhibits there are. I had avoided this museum because I assumed it glorified the mob, like some people do. Instead there is solid information of all types of organized crime through the past century. The displays are colorful and creative, and the pathways keep everyone organized. It could be a crime to miss this museum, especially if you can get the deal we got for $8.50.

    This was a really interesting look at the history of the Mob in America, and its role specifically in Las Vegas. Great info, great atmosphere, and great service. All of the staff were friendly and we spent several hours going through the exhibit. A special shout out to Peyton for bringing out the old post card collection.

    Admission price was very reasonable. Parking was $7.00 for four hours. My favorite exhibit was the Saint Valentines Day Massacre Wall it brought a few tears to my eyes. The museum is a three story building with lots to see and lots to read about famous gangsters during prohibition times. There is also a little cafe where you can purchase coffee, and baked goods and a Speakeasy in the basement, they serve some good drinks!

    What a fun interactive experience! I would say if there was any way they could prevent the sounds from different exhibits from overlapping it can be a little loud and drowning out sometimes, but all the artifacts and tidbits of information gives a glimpse to how the underworld operates. Out of respect for the museums history, these are the only photos I'll be posting. Go see it for yourself and experience the history! Make sure you start at the top and work your way down to the bottom so you can finish your journey at the Speakeasy.

    The Mob museum is so interesting in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, USA 🇺🇸. The museum is about the history of crime 🔫 😂 and story telling of criminal and mob activities. It’s very cliche too At first it was nice and I enjoyed the action and the history. I enjoyed the court room the most. But then I felt a little disappointed. It’s mainly about criminal and mafias and their stories. Most of the criminals are from Italian background. I think 🤔 it’s time for the museum to diversify! I hope my review helped 🙏🏼

    What a fun place to visit. They have quite a few interesting exhibits to look at and a lot of interactive displays. It took us about three hours to your the place and we could have taken longer.

  • 4/5 Kathy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Totally worth the experience if you keep your eyes open to the fact that the story is being told to you by our government. While many items in the gift shop state there are 2 sides to every story, this museum will only give you one. However, that side is definitely worth hearing and learning about in a person's quest for truth and understanding of our nation's complicated history.

    The Mob Museum is a national museum of organized crime and law enforcement. This mission of this nonprofit organization is to advance the public understanding of organized crime’s history and impact on American society. Do not miss a chance to visit this museum when you are in Las Vegas.

    We were there the 1st year they opened and then this year for the 10th anniversary. A ton of amazing history and exhibits topped off the amazing distillery tasting tour!

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was awesome! This museum exceeded expectations. Also a “speakeasy” in the basement with drinks like "Rattlesnake" and my husband absolutely loved it. We also added - DISTILLERY TOUR & TASTING - our favorite was the Cinn-City Next we did the - FIREARM TRAINING SIMULATOR My husband and I both became overwhelmed with all the information and reading after three hours. We definitely want to come back.

    Visited in their first year of operation and again 10 years later. Many technical upgrades with more interactive display and additional exhibits. Overall look and feel of the museum is outstanding. Being in an original courthouse certainly contributes. Film about the hearings held in the very courtroom you sit in on the second floor is interesting and something I did not know. Favorite floor is that second floor where connection between mob and Vegas in the 70s is explored. Seeing pictures, history and artifacts from real life characters from movies such as Casino is a highlight. Gift Shop has a large variety of merchandise. Continue on after the gift shop to see actual items from The Godfather, The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and Casino. All staff I interacted with were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. If driving be aware that parking in adjacent lot is $8.

    Gorgeous old building with so much history & information! Spent almost 4 hours looking at everything, including having a shot of moonshine in the basement speakeasy. Didn't tour the distillery portion & wish we had of. Well worth the time & money spent! They also have a good discount for locals.

  • 4/5 Patrice P. 1 year ago on Google
    The museum is full and rich with history regarding all types of mobs. You could spend 4 hours here if you're really into reading, participating and enjoying the information. We participated in the simulated police activity which was very good. It costs $16 extra dollars outside of the $30 general admission. They also had 2 other activities (forensic and distillery). Offer pics at the end that are costly.

  • 3/5 niko p. 2 years ago on Google
    A very interesting place to visit with a lot of information about the mobs around the country and how it relates to the world in general. They have a lot of actual artifacts, photos, journals and video/film showings of the events. It could be an information overload but is interesting especially if you have seen documentaries about it just so you can relate to what you see and hear in what this museum offers. Some of the footage are very graphic as you would expect from mob activities so come and watch at your discretion. All the staff are very kind and very accomodating. The place is very well maintained. They also have a gift shop where you can get some souvenirs and other mob-inspired novelties. This is located in downtown Las Vegas and I wish they offer a free parking for paying customers and that should have added another ⭐😄.

    Awesome time if you want to do something different. Definitely recommend adding on the Firearm Training Simulator! It was so much fun and our instructor and actor were great!

  • 5/5 Duane D. 2 years ago on Google
    This museum experience is amazing. There are 3 interactive events to choose from. This museum takes about 3.5 hrs to complete.

    I recently had the opportunity to visit the Mob Museum and was blown away by the depth of history and insight it provided into the world of organized crime. The exhibits were well-presented and educational, offering a fascinating look into the inner workings of the mob and their syndicates. One of the things that impressed me about the museum was the opportunity to see some of the most historic items in our country's history, many of which were tied to the mob's involvement in various crimes. It was a unique and unforgettable experience to see these artifacts up close. The museum is spread over three floors and offers a comprehensive and immersive look into the world of organized crime. For an additional fee, visitors can also access three additional exhibits. One pleasant surprise for Breaking Bad fans is a special exhibit at the end of the museum. This was an unexpected and delightful touch that added to the overall experience. Overall, I would highly recommend the Mob Museum to anyone looking to learn more about organized crime and its impact on our society. With its excellent exhibits, fascinating artifacts, and pleasant surprises, it is truly an unforgettable experience.

    The Mob Museum is very huge with lots of interesting facts, photos, and activities built into the exhibit to try. Definitely want to take your time in there to enjoy both floors. We did pay for two activities. The distillery was fantastic. The hosts were able to provide a lot of knowledge and background history. The bar downstairs had a great atmosphere, and the bartender was polite and patient and knew how to make some really good drinks. The other activity was forensics. That was related to mabe an elementary school experience. Was still pretty neat regardless.

  • 5/5 Greg Z. 2 years ago on Google
    I've always been interested in the mafia, and especially its impact on the cities where its influence was profound, like New York, Chicago and Las Vegas. Seeing many so many actual artifacts, and such as variety of them, was a treat. I was thrilled too see the actual wall from the St Valentine's Day Massacre.

  • 5/5 Alison Alva (. 9 months ago on Google
    I've always wanted to visit, and it was so much more than I expected. Honestly, we all know about the mobs touch in Vegas. Hell, there are movies about it. But to actually see in depth was pretty awesome. My favorite had to be the Flamingo room.I also got the distillery experience for my boyfriend and I. It was Very cool, moonshine is not as bad as I thought. They also are only two streets away from Fremont St. Definitely check it out!

  • 5/5 Jess 9 months ago on Google
    Overall a fun experience, it was very interesting to learn about all the different mobs and their history in Las Vegas and else where around the country. The museum has so much to offer between short film/documentries, listening to old tapes, reading articles, and of course all the goodies locked up that you can look at. Buy tickets online, it's just easier. 3 floors of stuff to look at, so much time to spend learning about a time we are all so interested in.

  • 5/5 Mark S. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the whole experience if the 8 dollar parking fee 8s a turnoff show up after 3 and it's moot also " Bones" in the Underground will make it all worthwhile. Excellent experience.

  • 5/5 ME T. 9 months ago on Google
    This museum far exceeded my expectations! Lots of interesting information about the history of the mob and cool things on display. We did two of the extra activities (crime lab and distillery tour) and found them to be enjoyable. Crime lab was a little cheesy but interesting. The STAFF is incredibly nice and welcoming. As soon as I walked in I felt welcomed. The nice woman (I believe Minnie was her name) greeted us this morning and took time to ask how we were doing and where we were from. I personally didn’t enjoy the taste of the moonshine but many did. You can purchase as well. Very well done museum!

  • 5/5 Jana W. 8 months ago on Google
    Save more time than you think you need! There is so much to see and do. Be sure to look at all the options upon purchasing tickets. There are fun add-ons. Be sure to stop in the speakeasy for a refreshing cocktail. The bartenders are so awesome and knowledgeable. Great afternoon to beat the heat!!!

  • 5/5 analisa h. 9 months ago on Google
    Yall, this museum is a must see! So much history about all the famous and infamous mobsters to ever live! It's interactive and quite a bit of reading but you learn so much that documentaries don't cover. There's even a speak easy down below the museum. I suggest checking it out for a great and unforgettable experience that takes you back to the past. This one of a kind museum will have you recommending it to everyone you know visiting the world's greatest city.

  • 5/5 L A D Y B U G. 8 months ago on Google
    I love this museum. It’s very well organized, educational, and all the staffs are very welcoming. The speakeasy was a fantastic place to finish off with a nice lunch. Wonderful atmosphere from beginning to end. Highly recommended!

  • 3/5 Laffy M. 8 months ago on Google
    I was disappointed in this one. First we did not visit the speakeasy or do any of the extra side stuff they have just the basic tour. The exhibit was pretty boring mostly just text and images put on a wall hardly any historic items or memorabilia. The place was super busy which is kind of annoying when you are trying to read everything. I would break the museum down like this, it's 90% text on a wall, 5% cheesy videos and touch screen, 3% prop, 2% actual historical items. I was pretty excited for this but left disappointed, yeah it has a lot to teach you but the exhibits aren't very engaging they definitely could put more actual historical stuff in to make it shine.

  • 4/5 Nick B. 2 years ago on Google
    You can park onsite, it cost $10.00. If the lot is full there is overflow on just on the other side of the wall. The cost for entry is around $30.00 for your own pace. This place is absolutely filled with so much information - its a lot to take in. I dont' want to spoil anything so I won't go into or show pictures of specific exhibits. But it covers such a broad range of a lot of things. Current day to way back in the day, mob to movies and everything in between. Even the building itself has some fun history. Read about the the ladder near the end for some fun history not necessarily mob related. Give yourself at least 2 hours to go through it if you want to read and watch the exhibits. We went at a time where I was getting hungry and then I sorta hurried through. We didn't choose a guided tour which I think is good as you can spend as much or as little in any of the areas. I cannot stress enough just how much information is here to read, look at, listen to. Give yourself time to go through it. They have a happy hour to save some money - for sure take advantage of that. I will go back and during that time for sure.

I decided to come see the museum cause I’ve heard about it, heard advertisements on it and really wanted to check out the speakeasy.. I’m so glad I did..it was nice to explore see the history and enjoy a cocktail.. the staff in the speakeasy were amazing!

  • 5/5 Olga I. 7 months ago on Google
    Cool place to explore with friends. Book some experiences. It's fun. Speakeasy bar. Know the password. Want to note that not every staff is on point. We saw couple guys on the phone and not hearing us when we had questions.
