The Mob Museum

The Mob Museum, officially the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, tells the story of organized crime in America. The museum's location in Las Vegas is appropriate, considering Sin City's early history as an outpost of the Mafia. Located in a historic Downtown Las Vegas building which was originally a federal courthouse, The Mob Museum presents a rounded view of this chapter of American history throughout three floors of engaging exhibits that include high-tech theater presentations, iconic one-of-a-kind artifacts and interactive, themed environments. Visitors will see names they recognize from the movies, but The Mob Museum tells the true stories. You'll learn about Al Capone, Tony Spilotro and Whitey Bulger, among other infamous men who once played important roles in American organized crime. Visitors also learn about law enforcement agents like Joe Pistone, who went undercover as Donnie Brasco, to help bring down the Mob.
