Tons of Information
Jan 2022
Four of us strolled through the Mob Museum early on a Saturday morning (on line ticket discount for before 11 AM) and thoroughly enjoyed it. They had short interesting movies, some artifacts and a lot of information to read. The photos were interesting as was the entire timeline they laid out from the rise of Vegas to today's current criminals and cartels. They even had a display about movies and television series related to the mob and cartels with information about what was real and what was fiction.

A fun way to spend a few hours
Apr 2022 • Family
It is best to go early as the museum can get crowded in the afternoon. The distillery tour and tasting was interesting - worth the time and additional cost. The museum also contains information on the early Las Vegas settlements. I don’t find the headset rental necessary.

Amazing
Jan 2022
This museum is well worth your time. We went at 9 am on a Saturday and we’re the only ones in the museum for quite a while. They have a small parking lot that costs $8.00. They have a lot of cool artifacts. I would pay the extra $8.00 for the headsets. It is totally worth it.

Amazing gem of a museum.
Mar 2021 • Couples
Very detailed historical timeline of how the mob and all illegal enterprises came to be. Utterly fascinating and so well laid out. We enjoyed our time wandering the three stories that make up the museum. Many, many artifacts, videos, and photos tell the story. Worth the money and time spent there. You do need reservations and I recommend you take advantage of the “extras” offered. We did the CSI exhibit.

Fascinating!!!!! A Must See
Feb 2020 • Solo
What an absolutely fascinating museum! You will not only learn how the mob was involved in Las Vegas, but it’s origin and continued existence! There is a lot of reading, but short films also offer information. Though I didn’t pay for the extras due to time, I think these would be amazing supplements! The museum opens at 9:00am and when I left at 11:30am, there was a line to get in. So go as early as you can. After 5:00, there is a discount and it’s open until 9:00pm. Your ticket (wrist band) is good until closing. A MUST see... only a short ride from the Strip and about two blocks from Fremont Street.

Well Done, Interesting, Flows Nicely
Jun 2021
Museum is well done. It is located in a former Federal building which contained a post office and court room. Well organized depiction of both Las Vegas and national mob history. Nice mix of video, slide presentations, interactive, and static exhibits. Purchase your ticket in advance if you are able to pinpoint when you will be visiting for a fairly substantial saving on the price.

Fun but expensive
Jun 2021 • Family
The old post office and the history behind it are really cool, the fact that it was a working courthouse was awesome too. I did feel that for what you get the museum was a little in the expensive side. There is a lot of reading, a lot of pictures and some videos. You will also see some authentic collectibles but nothing out of this world. I would recommend it to people as it is a fun thing to do just know it is a bit pricey for what you’re doing.

The Mob Museum/Distillery Tour
Sep 2021
We really enjoyed learning about Las Vegas' early years and Prohibition time period as well as the history of the mob in Vegas. There are several pictures with captions that have many interesting facts. I enjoyed the short movies they showed. You can also purchase an audio tour as well. We purchased the Distillery experience and sampled 3 little shots of moonshine, which will put hair on your chest no matter what your age or gender. The moonshine was 100 proof by the way. After our Distillery experience we stopped by the Speakeasy and found the secret door. We sat at the bar for a drink and enjoyed the pretzel bites appetizer which was delicious. I think I will have to come back another time to see everything because I didn't have time to see everything. This is near Fremont Street and we took an Uber to get there as we stayed near the strip. The Deuce stops right outside the Museum so that is an option as well. Put this on your to do list of things to do.

Enjoyed This
Jan 2020 • Couples
It was a bit crowded even in the off season so I can’t imagine how packed it would be in the height of the tourist season.

It is also expensive. There’s the basic admission (which is all we did) and then two expensive add ons (forensic lab and firing range I think).

You get the inevitable tourist picture done but it is fun with 1920’s & 30’s mobster hats and items to wear. There is no one twisting your arm to buy a big package at the gift shop on the way out and the prices are quite reasonable.

Spent 2 hours. Lots to read and quite a number of movies. Hard to keep track when the movies are starting and stopping and found ourselves coming in the middle of a movie and having to hang around until it started again.

Lots of neat items to see too. I find this is what makes a museum is the actual items they have. This one had a gas chamber chair, tommy gun, Capone’s pistol, etc.

Gift shop had lots and lots of interesting items.

Location is in the downtown area a few blocks from the Freemont Street Experience. Parking is beside the museum for $7 for 4 hours. It was quite full in January although we got in no problem.

St Valentine’s Day massacre wall
Nov 2019 • Couples
We were in the freemont street area, so we decided to stop by. Got tickets through travelzoo and saved about $5 each, so ended up costing us about $21.50 a ticket. The museum was informative and interesting... different presentations (videos, St. Valentine’s Day massacre wall, etc.) the store also had some fun 20s themed items, and I got a great headband for New Years.
