It's like Disney for mobs. The attention to detail is amazing. If you are fascinated with mobsters and the mafia definitely check this out.

Once you buy your tickets you get a wristband that allows you to leave and come back. Great if you want to catch a bite but don't want to rush through the exhibits .

Natalie

Three stories of nothing but the mob. It's so well designed and has a great flow with a ton of interactive displays throughout. Set aside 2-3 hours for everything. Parking is $5 for three hours.

Brad Hager

VERY GOOD, lots of history, great videos & explanation throughout. Snack bar , drinks, coffee , beer , popcorn , etc. Suggest at least 3 hrs. Discount for Vegas locals. WELL WORTH IT!!

SooFab

This place is so awesome. So much to see and cool simulations. It’s 4 floors and I spent 3 hours and only got through 2 floors. Well worth the ticket price.

Morgan Waldron

Great speakers scheduled for this year. The membership is quickly recovered in a couple of visits to the Museum or the events . Always recommend this place.

What's Good Here

There's a reason this was voted as Best Museum in NV Mag. Incredibly well done & informative, tech is put to good use making the experience fun & immersive. Well worth the visit to Fremont alone.

Lux Delux

For an unconventional day out, treat your group to an excursion unlike any other - the entire museum is available to rent for private parties, corporate events , or just because you don't like crowds.

Colleen Shaw

At first I thought the cost was a bit high, about 25.00 per adult. However, there is so much to see! Worth the money. Great photos, artifacts and videos throughout.

Joshua Conley

Excellent exhibits and interactive displays . It never felt crowded or rushed. The Mob Museum is an interesting place to visit, without a doubt.

Discounts for Military , Police and Teachers . Way to go. Find a coupon for $2.00 off to use. Try not to drive it cost $5.00 to park at the Museum . But it is a neat place to spend a few hours.

Gary Toriello

Watch all of the movies as you go through the museum . They are more interesting than the actual exhibits .

Christine Wilson

Immense amount of things to learn. Get the tour you will not regret it. They will explain a lot and you will want to stay longer for more.

Definitely worth your time and money. They have this place so well laid out - it is amazing! Plan to spend some time here. Lots to see.

This is a really informative piece of history. I strongly recommend checking this place out. The good thing is that when you pay admission, it will allow you in/out flexibility on same day visit.

This gives a comprehensive account of the origins and growth of organized crime in America. It is a must see for anyone interested in interactive history. Reminds me of a Smithsonian museum .

DJ Taino

Nice break from the strip. Fun for adults and teens. Our 13 year old suggested we visit and we all enjoyed!

Ronan Mooney

A lot of reading but some interesting stuff and fun interactive tommy gun and revolver displays! But of culture (be it dark culture) in an otherwise culture lacking city !

Sharon Owens

I think it's very educational it shows a lot of what happened back in the early thirties and forties and fifties and it's an experience that I think everyone should experience

David Profumo

Great history, the interactive parts are intense, and the speakeasy is a lot of fun!

Travel + Leisure

The federal courthouse where the 1950 Kefauver Hearings on Organized Crime were held is now a museum dedicated to the history of mobsters. Among the exhibits are real weapons used by Mafia hit men.

This is a very interesting look at the history of organized crime in the United States . Have a drink downstairs before going around.

Interesting exhibits , lots to read. Leave the kids - some pics you won't want to see or explain to them. We enjoyed the museum .

The Mob Museum (originally a Courthouse & Post Office) was built in 1933 - the last year of prohibition . Work crews built a Gin bottle into a west side wall trying to cover up their drinking.

Paula Madeira

Very cool place with a lot of history regarding the mob and prohibition. It takes around 2h30 to see it all.

On the 3rd floor -- in the prohibition section -- make sure you wait until the movie stops & screen goes up. An artifact will be revealed.

Great museum that will teach you anything and everything about any kind of Mob

Lots of cool things to see here. The wall from the St. Valentine's Day massacre (complete with bullet holes) and other items from the Prohibition era.
