The Mob Museum
The National Museum Of Organized Crime And Law Enforcement, In The Former 1933 Federal Courthouse And Post Office · Las Vegas, Nevada
The Mob Museum, formally the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, occupies the former United States post office and federal courthouse of 1933 in downtown Las Vegas, a stone neoclassical building a few blocks north of Fremont Street. It opened on 14 February 2012, a date chosen as a nod to the 1929 St Valentine's Day Massacre, and it tells the story of organized crime in America from both sides: the bootleggers, gangsters and casino skimmers, and the agents, prosecutors and technicians who hunted them. The building is part of the story. In November 1950 its courtroom hosted one of the hearings of the Kefauver Committee, the Senate inquiry that put organized crime in front of the nation, and the room has been restored. Exhibits cover Prohibition, the mob's role in building and skimming Las Vegas casinos, wiretaps and surveillance, the fall of the old bosses and organized crime today. Extra-fee experiences include a firearms training simulator and a crime lab, and the basement holds a working speakeasy and distillery. Allow two to three hours.

NO OPENING TIME HERE WAS CHECKED. The typical pattern: the museum opens daily from mid-morning, around 9 or 10 am, to evening, around 9 pm, with last entry roughly an hour before closing, and it is usually open every day of the year apart from a few holidays; The Underground speakeasy keeps its own later evening hours. The traps that ruin a day are turning up on a weekend or holiday without a timed ticket and waiting for a later slot, arriving an hour before closing and rushing the basement, missing a pre-booked simulator slot while reading upstairs, and assuming the speakeasy is closed because the museum is. Confirm current times before relying on them.
