The Mob Museum

300 E Stewart Ave · Las Vegas, NV

Why you should go…

Housed in the former Las Vegas post office and federal courthouse, the Mob Museum traces organized crime and law enforcement from Prohibition-era bootlegging through the mob's grip on Vegas casinos. Interactive exhibits include a real speakeasy and a working distillery in the basement. It's downtown, a short walk from Fremont Street.

Good to know

General museums guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Check the special exhibition separately

    Touring shows usually carry their own ticket and their own opening hours, listed apart from general admission.

  • Look for the free window

    Many museums run community days, member evenings, or discounted late openings. It is worth a look before you pay full price.

  • Travel light through the door

    Large bags and backpacks often have to go to a coat check, and lines for it move slowly at opening.

  • Weekday mornings beat weekend afternoons

    School groups clear out by early afternoon midweek, while weekends stay busy from late morning on.
