From the birth of the Mob, to today’s headlines, The Mob Museum provides a world-class, interactive journey through true crime stories. The Museum is a must-see gem that was designed by a world-class team and cost $42 million to build.
One of the key exhibits is the actual courtroom used in the Kefauver hearings, the first mob-related event to be televised. The museum is located inside the former federal courthouse where the 1950-51 Kefauver Committee hearings were held. The dimly-lit courtroom shows historical clips on a big screen. More law enforcement exhibits include a wire-tapping station where you can listen in on actual conversations that happened. See testimonies of FBI agents on audio-visual panel screens and there’s also a police lineup booth where you can step into and be “suspects.”
The museum’s most valuable artifact is the brick wall from Chicago’s Valentine’s Day Massacre in 1929. The museum explains the murder of seven Moran gang members led by Al Capone’s South Side Italian gang. The wall includes a 38-caliber Colt Detective special revolver, the only gun directly related to the shooting and is believed to have belonged to Moran gang member, Frank Gusenberg.
Come explore the real stories and actual events of Mob history through amazing interactive exhibits and one-of-a-kind artifacts found inside our restored 1933 former courthouse and post office building located just minutes from Fremont Street. Do not leave Las Vegas without visiting this crown jewel of Las Vegas!
