    Take the family on an Amazing adventure about the history of The Mob in Las Vegas. Buy your tíquets online for a little discount. We had a great time visiting such a historic federal building the architecture at its finest. It holds many artifacts & history. If you get thirsty or hungry no problem they have a snack shop. Benches all around to sit for a break. Parking is available next to the building at $8 this Monday evening.

    If you're into museums and history, the Mob Museum is definitely a cool spot to check out while in Vegas. Located near Fremont Street, this museum dives deep into the history of organized crime and its impact on American society. My wife and I enjoy museums and learning about history, so this was right up our alley. One thing I'll say though, don't make the mistake we did and come during a busy holiday weekend like Memorial Day weekend. The place was packed. You honestly need at least 3 hours to fully enjoy and explore everything, but we felt rushed because of the heavy foot traffic and overcrowding. The exhibits were interesting and well done, but part of me wished it went a little darker or more graphic with some of the mob history. Still, overall a really solid experience and worth visiting at least once. Next time, we'll definitely avoid the busy weekends, sign up for the guided tour, and try the crime lab experience too.

    My friend and I recently visited Las Vegas, and when deciding what we'd do, the Mob Museum was near the top of our list. We have both been to Las Vegas many times, and we hadn't ever visited the Mob Museum. So we decided to visit this time. We enjoyed the experience overall and would certainly recommend it to others. When we arrived, we paid for parking and went inside to pay for the Mob Museum experience. We were prepared to walk around and read a lot of information about the mob. We were pleased to learn when we arrived that there would be a former member of the mob speaking upstairs in just a few minutes. We quickly went upstairs and found a seat. The speaker was Frank Calabrese, Jr., who worked with the FBI to bring down his crime family in Chicago. He told us his story first-hand while telling us about his book and sharing slides as he spoke. This first-hand account was a great way to kick off our visit! After the speaker, we headed up to the third floor and started looking through exhibits and worked our way floor by floor down to the first floor and eventually to the basement. On the third floor, we learned about the birth of the mob, the start of organized crime, the founding of Las Vegas, prohibition, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, Al Capone, the FBI fighting back, how several mob leaders were taken down due to smaller violations, and how organized crime spread. On the second floor, we learned about the Kefauver Hearings, the historic courtroom that became the Mob Museum in Las Vegas, the Mob eyeing Las Vegas, skimming from the casinos, Las Vegas going straight, the Mob infiltrating the police, and the Mob's greatest hits. On the first floor, we learned about how the FBI took down the Mob (or some of them), various stories about mob leaders, organized crime today (yes, the mob still exists!), use of force by the police, and the mob in popular culture. We also visited the Global Networks Touch Wall, the gift shop, and the Underground (speakeasy in the basement). While we didn't pay the extra fee to use them, there are interactive exhibit options for a Crime Lab, Firearm Training Simulator, and Distillery Tasting. The general admission cost is $34.95 per person to access exhibits without a discount. For an extra $15, you get access to exhibits and one interactive exhibit. For $5 more than that, you get access to exhibits and two interactive exhibits. There are discounts available to Nevada residents, students, law enforcement and military. You can also get tickets before 11 AM or after 5 PM to receive $7 off admission plus 20% off coupons on the internet. The Mob Museum is typically open daily from 9 AM to 9 PM. The Underground speakeasy and distillery is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 AM to 11 PM and Friday and Saturday from 11 AM to Midnight. You should give yourself 1-3 hours to experience the museum. Definitely check out the Mob Museum at some point while you're in Las Vegas! Worth a visit!

    A must-visit! I honestly believed that this place would romanticize the criminals who wore suits and demanded respect out of fear ... sort of like The Godfather or Goodfellas. But that was certainly not the case. Rather, this museum presents the facts and artifacts. I love museums that explain and display the history. When there are actual pieces of said history, it's even better. Be it Al Capone's pistol or Bugsy Siegal's sunglasses, it's here (along with a ton of additional artifacts). You could easily spend three hours here, and every minute would be worth it.

    Very cool museum, I honestly didn't even know about it until a local referred us and it's close to the freemont district. There is so much history in this building. I really liked that you can walk through and tour at your own pace, and your ticket is good for the whole day so you can leave and come back as you please.There is also a speakeasy bar in the basement of the museum that I missed and didn't get to tour, so I'll have to check that out next time.The workers were also very helpful with answering questions and taking pictures, which I appreciated.The only downside for me was it felt a little on the pricier side, especially having to pay for parking, but that didn't stop us from going in, touring everything, and grabbing a few things from the gift shop.

    Historical museum that provides insight into the underground world of mobsters! Stopped in during the weekday, Jenny & Deanna were super friendly and we opted for the annual pass that included a moonshine tasting in their distillery basement. There are loads of photographs and rich snippets on the origin of the prohibition era and how it led to the crime bosses. The museum is three stories with a basement that has a speakeasy (pro tip, the speakeasy has a secret door with a private room which some of the guests were viewing for an event so you can ask the bartender to take a look). The moonshine tasting was informative as well as tasty since they make their own moonshine batches on the premises, they also allow you to purchase moonshine to go. Parking was $6 for four hours ( you can pay with a card) and it's right next to the museum. We also stopped into the speakeasy and ordered some sliders which were good too!

    This place is a gem. We loved it. You need to allow a good 3 hours approx depending on how much you get invested. The lab experience was fascinating and for me it was the best part. Wished I had more time to spend in there. Interesting history. The building is lovely... just a few minutes walk from Freemont. Definate must see in Las Vegas.

    Fuhgeta about it! Gangster movies are my favorite movie genre. Not sure what that says about me but hey. While I've taken several trips to Vegas, a museum has never been part of the mix. I'm happy that's finally changed. We checked out The Mob Museum on a Tuesday evening. Even though we took an Uber, they do have a complimentary parking lot adjacent to the museum. The Mob Museum is located in Fremont (the old strip) and looks like The Federal Reserve Building from the outside. There's a lot to love about The Mob Museum. First, it's open much later than a museum typically is e.g. 5 p.m. We're talking 9 p.m. here. For someone who's a night owl, I love the flexibility. There's also discounted admission after a certain hour, I think it may be 6 p.m. Check their website to be sure. Now to the museum itself. They recommend that you start on the third floor and make your way down. You're given a map which mentions some of the highlights on each level. Talk about a top-notch museum. There's a ton of information to consume. The Mob Museum highlights the history of the mob in the U.S. You learn about some of the most notorious gangsters. Some of the biggest events over the years. The Prohibition Era. The mob portrayed in movies and TV shows. There's a lot to read, there are video clips, and there are various pieces like guns, pictures, and much, much more. I'm the type that likes to read everything at a museum. To get through all three floors, I had to rush to get through it in three hours before close. So make sure you allocate your time accordingly if you're like me. They also have an awesome gift shop. It's not cheap, but they have a lot of cool things there. Many inspired by famous movies like Scarface, The Godfather, Casino, etc. and TV shows like The Sopranos and Breaking Bad. If that wasn't enough, they have a speakeasy in the basement. It's open until 11 p.m. Naturally, we had to stop by. While there cocktail menu was interesting, I went with the moonshine flight (which they make in hour). I wanted to get as authentic as I could with my experience. You also have the opportunity to add several add-ons to your general admission ticket. One of these is a moonshine tasting and distillery tour. Another is a forensics add-on. They didn't have any distillery tours while we were there so I'm glad I got to try some of their concoctions at the speakeasy. There are so many entertainment options in Las Vegas. If you have any interest in the mafia/mob, The Mob Museum is a must-visit!

    Never met a museum we didn't like and The Mob museum delivers. Excellent docents wherever we found them roaming around. They even have a restaurant distillery in the basement. Al Capone would approve. Everything was immaculately clean! Easy parking in the area.

    A late review from a valentines day celebration and education of the mob on the run. A free day for locals and an anniversary. Entering a speakeasy below behind closed pictures celebrating quietly. If you can find it. Enjoy the moments when no password is required and the door is unlocked in the midnight hour.

    Really unique and interesting museum about the Mob in what was a former courthouse. They have an audio self guided tour but my family opted out. They recommend you start on the 3rd floor and work your way down. I learned a lot about how the mob came to be and the different networks across America. There are several videos, the wall from the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, an old electric chair you can sit in (with sound effects), displays of Tommy guns, and docents who will talk about some of the displays. There are also some gruesome pictures of murder victims in one of the exhibits as well but you can skip them by going out a different door. If you want a snack, the 2nd floor has a coffee shop that also sells pastries. The basement houses a speakeasy bar called "The Underground" that offers distillery tastings. There's a door in the back with the sliding viewer thing like you see on TV when they ask you for the password. Haha There's a lot to see here, we spent over 2 hours here. Parking is $8. Handicap lift available to go up to the museum entrance.

    We booked a lot of things to do when in Vegas for Thanksgiving and this place ranks as one, if not the best, experiences we had. I do recommend getting there early because there is a lot to look at and the less crowded the easier it is to do. There is a big parking lot but it was full when we left a few hours later. They have a huge collection on multiple floors plus the speakeasy basement with detailed exhibits showing tons of memorabilia, photos, video, audio etc. You won't be bored! I paid additional for the audio tour, I don't think it's necessary really, I only used mine half the time. I also paid for some of the "experiences". I did the Crime Scene lab one which was a ton of fun if you are into learning about fingerprints, bullet identification and autopsies like Dexter Morgan used to do. My husband did the Firearm Training Simulator and enjoyed it. The person teaching his experience (former police) was convinced my guy was military or police, wish I was there to see that conversation! We also did the Distillery Tasting and Randy talked us through prohibition while we sipped on their made in house moonshine. I bought a bottle of their Huckleberry, so yum! Lastly, kudos to all the staff! Everyone was so kind and genuinely happy to be there. And everything was very clean. That's a huge deal for me! I would love to go back and spend another day...if there was no one else there. The history of the building and what went on in this old courthouse is just so cool. Definitely worth the time and price to visit!

    A fun, different history lesson in Vegas not your typical Strip attraction I was looking for something abstract and off-the-beaten-path to do in Vegas instead of the usual stuff, and a friend suggested the Mob Museum. I hadn't been since it first opened years ago, so I got genuinely excited to check it out again. Man, I'm glad I did. This place is packed with history and it doesn't hold back. Be prepared: some exhibits get pretty gory, and there's a lot about law enforcement taking down gangsters. There's nothing glorious about the violence or the killing, but you can also see the other side of it. During the Great Depression, when people were struggling just to eat, some folks romanticized the mobsters like Robin Hood figures or even treated them like celebrities. The museum does a solid job showing all of that without sugarcoating. It's a real deep dive tons of detail across multiple floors, interactive stuff, and artifacts that make it feel immersive. If you're into history at all, you'll eat this up. And yes, if it wasn't for the mob, Vegas as we know it probably wouldn't exist. That alone makes it worth visiting. My buddy was most excited about the speakeasy bar at the bottom (The Underground), and it definitely delivered. Cool Prohibition-era vibe with craft cocktails perfect way to end the visit. Overall, this was my "oddball" activity of the trip (right after hitting Bugsy's bar, of course). The way they've put it all together is really well done. If you've got a few sober(ish) hours and want something different from the usual Vegas grind, definitely check it out. It's a nice change of pace and a solid history lesson wrapped in a unique experience. Would go again!

    (5/5) The Museum of…read moreIllusions was one of our favorite attractions in Las Vegas! It was so much fun for both the kids and adults. Every room had something unique, and we found ourselves laughing, taking tons of photos, and trying to figure out all the mind-bending illusions. The staff was also friendly and even helped us take some of the best illusion pictures. Admission: Tickets are around $40-45 for adults and $33-38 for children (ages 5-12) when purchased online. Kids 4 and under are free. Hours: Open daily from 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM, so it's easy to fit into your schedule. Parking: We found the easiest place to park was the Aria self-parking garage, with an easy indoor walk to the museum. You can also park at the Cosmopolitan or 63 CityCenter valet, but all charge for parking. Nevada residents may receive free or discounted parking at some garages. Best Ages: I'd recommend it for ages 5 and up. Younger kids can still enjoy parts of it, but older children, teens, and adults really appreciate the illusions and interactive exhibits. Tips: * Plan to spend 45-90 minutes exploring. (Museum of Illusions Las Vegas) * Wear comfortable shoes since you'll be standing and walking through each exhibit. * Take your time--many illusions look even better through your phone camera than in person! * Let the staff help you pose for the illusion photos--they know the perfect angles. * Go earlier in the day if you want fewer crowds and more time for photos. If you're looking for a unique indoor activity on the Strip, this is absolutely worth it. We had an amazing time and would definitely come back!

    I did not want to have to write this review twice, but here goes…read more Total waste of money. They use surge pricing so if you go without tickets they will screw you royally. In our case, I am a local, I went with my 5 year old grandson and my 81 year old friend. I had a chose of not going in or paying "VIP" PRICING -- $82 per ticket, no local discount, no age discount. What do you get? Shorter line to get in -- for a moment -- then you merge with everyone else. You wait on same lines for slides, ice cream, etc. The quality of that ice cream is average, the soft serve is below average, the topping cheap. I had expected - and I read a lot of about it -- a fun experience, with good ice cream, and highly engaged staff. The staff was fine, however, they were more like crowd watchers than engaged staff. They fooled me once, and they will never fool me again. However, AREA 15 is well worth it in so many other ways.

    I have to preface my review by saying I do not believe in ghosts or the paranormal nor do I believe…read morein any of the stories that I heard during my visit, but I do watch Ghost Adventures more for the curiosity than anything else and I was really excited to visit the museum not because of an encounter, but just because I love anything spooky and was excited to see what was inside. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with how much material they packed into this tour and given that it is almost 3 hours, you really do get a lot of bang for your buck. There is a free parking lot attached and as many will point out this is not in a great part of town so if you are visiting during the night it is best to be driven in and out versus walking in and out. They do not allow photography inside so I only have a few pictures from the beginning of the visit, but I would definitely recommend to anyone because it is a really fun experience and it is also very unique. As mentioned I don't believe in any of these things so it was even fun for a non-believer like myself. Overall, a really fun Vegas activity and I would recommend to anyone, and if you are a believer it is even more of a memorable experience I would imagine.

    don't waste your time. It's basically a 2 1/2 hour Zak Bagans infommercial about how great he is…read more You don't get to spend any time with the artifacts, you can't take any pictures, and while the tour guides lead you into the room, they don't stay and explain anything. They just point you to a monitor on the wall where Zak talks about how he got the artifact and then they tell you if you want to know anymore, you can watch the episode of the show. They do have some very interesting things, but you don't have time to look at them. Also, don't waste your money on the RIP experience. It's the exact same tour that the general admission people go on the only difference is RIP goes into the basement for about five minutes. Everything else on that RIP tour is simply stepping closer to the object than the other people in the room. Don't fall for the "who has $1" scam at the beginning either. I personally had four different tour guides, and by the time we hit the second room I knew that all of this was a money making gimmick, and I would lay odds that more than half of the artifacts in that place aren't real. Most of them are a replicas. You can also "rent" a Polaroid camera that so generously allows you 10 Polaroid photos but then they restrict where you're allowed to take the photos at. I've been to haunted artifact museums and this was on my bucket list. I honestly regret the $55 we spent here

    The Neon Museum has been on my list for years and I finally got to go on my recent trip to Vegas…read more Looking at old reviews here, I'm glad that I waited this long because it sounds like they've made some improvements. We booked our tickets ahead online because it appeared that in the past they would sell out, but we could have easily purchased them at the door. The museum houses old working and non-working neon signs from Las Vegas past. There's everything from old cleaners signs to old casinos like the Stardust. I highly recommend that you visit at night so that you can see a lot of the boneyard lit up. They offer guided tours but we opted out. There's plenty of signage throughout the museum to give context and history to what you're looking at, although the guided tour would have been cool. We spent about an hour walking amongst the signs and I didn't want it to be over! They have a separate fenced off section with signs that will never light up, but I wish that we could have explored that section as well, since many of the signs that they had on display in the main area also didn't light up. It was so cool to see this piece of Las Vegas history.

    On a recent trip to Vegas I decided to finally check out The Neon Museum. The small parking lot…read moreshould've been the first sign of what to expect when visiting. We arrived about 30 minutes after they opened for the evening session and the lot was full with cars circling. Luckily we saw a couple leave and was able to get a parking spot. We suspected it was either too hot outside and they changed their mind or the museum was small. I was a little sticker shocked by the admission price. An adult general admission price is currently $35. If I wasn't dying from the heat and did a little research beforehand, I probably would've done some quick math and bought an individual membership for $99. The membership includes unlimited visits for a year, perks, and discounts. The outdoor museum is self guided. There is an add in option of a guided tour but the timeslots are limited. I was surprised to see that not all the signs were lit up. I overheard one of the staff members say that because the museum is run by a non-profit organization, they have limited funds to restore and light up all the signs. I appreciated the displays they had in front of the signs with historical information. Some of the signs like the Aladdin genie lamp and Stardust sign brought back childhood memories of visiting Vegas as a kid. The whole visit including a stop at the gift shop took only about 30 minutes. Since I didn't get a membership I probably would only go back if I knew the museum added some new signs.

Walking in we were greeted with a very friendly smile, were shown the map, told highlights of the museum and had all questions answered with very friendly service! I loved the striking giraffe statues and loved that all animals except the large eagle were taxidermy! I couldn't believe just how massive the giraffes were, it is a very striking impact to have them greet you at the entrance! Great placement! Stuffed animal room was very neat to see, I have only seen animals like this in a museum in Elko Nevada. We moved on to the aquarium room, saw some small sharks, and some cool fish like puffer fish! We loved the dinosaur room and that would have been way cool if my kiddo was younger!!! The highlight for me, what I was here for was the Egyptian exhibit! Wow!!!! I learned sooooo much and can't belive the actual artifacts that are on display here!! They were absolutely amazing!! This exhibit alone was worth the money!! The machine that you could view the different layers of the mummy was phenomenal to experience!!!

Our kids loved all the interactive exhibits, especially the fossil dig, the moving sand table, and the hands-on play areas. There was plenty to keep them engaged, and they also enjoyed seeing the dinosaurs, marine life, and live animals throughout the museum. Admission: Around $15 for adults and $7 for children (ages 3-11). Kids 2 and under are free, making it an affordable family outing. Parking: Free parking is available, which was a huge plus. Tips: * Plan for about 2-3 hours to see everything. * The hands-on exhibits are the highlight, so allow extra time for those. * Great indoor activity, especially during the hot Las Vegas summer. The museum isn't huge, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5, but it's clean, well maintained, and offers a fun, educational experience for young children. We'd definitely recommend it to families visiting Las Vegas!

After we passed the entry way, we werent sure if the whole experience was the fake grocery store concept. Apparently, the bag check in the front of the mart advertised a $3 immersive scavenger hunt experience that could have connected all of the exhibits together more clearly. Oops. We didnt find out until later there was a fantasy/sci fi story line! So be on the lookout for that. We started our journey crawling through this tunnel and ended it exiting the refrigerator. We approached omega mart like a nifty art museum. Lots of neat things to look at and touch. Was disappointed to see that a lot of the fake grocery merchandise that was tempting to buy was not available to purchase. And what was was very overpriced. Additional warning for people who are sensitive to stimulation Omega Mart has a lot a lot of different colors and lights

Quick search on Yelp & Google, and knew this was gonna be THE spot. With down time finally in our favor, we stopped by on a Monday afternoon. Took the elevator up and paid at the register. I asked if cash and/ or card are accepted, but it's card only. There are complimentary lockers available before walking into the museum. Watch the quick 2 minute video and away you go. Next to every display or immersive exhibit, you can read what is happening. And why you are experiencing this special effect. It's a great flow of exhibits. And if one particular area is crowded, you can continue on exploring. And return back to the previous one. Staff is so friendly with photo opportunity suggestions. * Restrooms are located near the slot machine/ pole dance area! There are WARNING signs if you have sensitivity to flashing/ strobing lights. Some rooms can be a bit darker while throughout the museum is well lit. The optical illusion to some of the exhibits can cause dizziness. Even the graphic geometric patterns you'll see throughout. Very budget friendly. And from a previous review I read on Yelp, you can also find discounts directly on their website. You'll exit at the gift sho

There are lots of interactive exhibits, old equipment, videos, and real historical artifacts. Learning about the atomic testing era and seeing how close the tests were to Vegas was fascinating. The museum is clean, well organized, and easy to explore at your own pace. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable too. The only downside is the ticket price felt expensive -- I honestly wish they charged a little less so that everyone could afford to experience and learn from this unique museum. Still, it's a very educational and worthwhile visit if you enjoy history, science, or museums.

From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how well the exhibits were set up and how much history is packed into one place. The museum does an excellent job explaining the science and history behind nuclear testing and the Manhattan Project in a way that was engaging for adults and older kids alike. We especially enjoyed seeing the historical artifacts, models, and detailed displays that brought such an important part of American history to life. The museum was clean, well organized, and easy to walk through at our own pace, and there were plenty of interesting things to see that sparked conversations among all of us. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we even spent extra time exploring the exhibits because there was so much to take in. Overall it was a fun, educational outing, and we definitely recommend it if you're looking for something a little different to do in Las Vegas. A great mix of science, history, and fascinating facts that left us all talking about what we learned long after we left!

    My wife and I have always been fascinated by history, so visiting the Titanic Museum at the Luxor…read morewas something we had been looking forward to. Before we even got there, we tried one of the new Zoox autonomous vehicles that are currently operating as part of a free pilot program in Las Vegas. It seats up to four people, the ride was smooth, the air conditioning was wonderful in the Vegas heat, and you can even choose the lighting ambiance inside the vehicle while listening to either the built-in music or your own phone. The only downside was figuring out the pickup location. If you've never used the service before, you may find yourself wandering around for a few minutes trying to find the correct pickup spot. As for the museum itself, the tickets were not inexpensive, but I felt they were a fair value considering the experience and the opportunity to see genuine Titanic artifacts that most people will never have the chance to see in person. Seeing "The Big Piece" alone made the visit worthwhile. One thing that surprised me was the atmosphere. I've walked through the Luxor many times and have never personally felt anything despite all the haunted stories people tell. The moment we stepped into the Titanic exhibit, though, my entire chest tightened. Whether it was the music, the lighting, or simply the weight of the history surrounding those artifacts, the feeling caught me completely off guard. The exhibit itself is immersive, with photographs, music, recreated spaces, and historical information that really helps you imagine what life aboard the ship was like. At the beginning, each visitor receives a boarding card with the name and story of a real passenger or crew member. At the end of the exhibit, you discover that person's fate and see their photograph. It was such a simple idea, but it made the experience feel much more personal and emotional. If you enjoy history, I would absolutely recommend visiting at least once. It was thoughtful, respectful, educational, and genuinely moving. I'm glad we went, and it's an experience my wife and I will remember for a long time.

    The exhibit is inside the Luxor and is a decent exhibit. There are some artifacts in there, but…read moremany of the items are recreations. It tells a good story and like the other places, you do get a character card when you come in so that you can follow them through the journey. Overall, it was great for a Titanic enthusiast that wants to be in the same space as some real artifacts and learn some of the deeper passenger stories. It is a little pricey for what you get so beware of that. The entire walk-through took us about 30 minutes.

    I have always wanted to visit the Museum of Selfies…read more I had a friend in town and we wanted to do something fun. We decided to check out Museum of Selfies. It's at the Linq promenade and we were able to park at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino (first 3 hrs free for NV locals). It was a short walk into the promenade and we were able to successfully locate the museum. Upon entrance you are greeted by an employee. You are then notified that you have to sign a waiver. Once the waiver is signed, you're able to go into the experience. This museum is so much fun! I really enjoyed it. The music was very catchy. The props and displays were so cute! They had many different set ups that you can take a selfie/picture with. I love taking pictures, so this was a perfect place for me! It wasn't so busy when we went so we didn't really have to wait to take a picture. It is kind of a small experience. Besides that, I think it was worth going. 5/5 stars, I will definitely enjoy going again.

If you like taking pictures and just take this experience for what it is , you'll enjoy it . We paid around $24 with a Groupon. We spent over an hour each taking turns taking pictures. Some of the gags are dirty and as many people use them but whatever . We had fun! We wouldn't do it again .. unless the selfie drops changed as you don't really need to do it more than once. I'd suggest looking at the vids or their insta so you get an idea of how to create the visual illusion. Note - no selfie sticks or ring lights provided . Your friends take your pictures. I believe you can rent a selfie stick for 6-9 bucks , not sure.
