Nevada · United States
Get an unfiltered look at the dark underworld of organized crime at The Mob Museum, just steps from the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas. Located in a historic former federal courthouse, this immersive, three-story museum brings the Mob’s infamous history to life through interactive exhibits, multimedia displays, and rare artifacts. Come face-to-face with the stories of Al Capone, John Gotti, and Bugsy Siegel—who helped shape Las Vegas itself—and uncover the law enforcement heroes who took them down. Explore the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre wall, sit in the courtroom where the 1950 Kefauver hearings were held, and hear real FBI surveillance tapes. It’s a gripping journey through crime, corruption, and justice that reveals how the Mob’s influence still lingers today.
