Overview
The Mob Museum (the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement) in Downtown Las Vegas opened on February 14, 2012, in the old federal courthouse and post office, and explores the conflict between organized crime and law enforcement. Then-mayor Oscar Goodman, a former Mob defense attorney, came up with the idea, and it cost about $50 million, including $26 million to restore the building.
Highlights
- Courtroom: the second-floor courtroom where one of the national Kefauver Committee hearings on organized crime was held in 1950-51
- St. Valentine's Day Massacre wall: the actual wall on the third floor
- Exhibits: on gambling, bootlegging, and the FBI, and a distillery and speakeasy in the basement
