3 Best Places To See in Las Vegas, NV

This is a great experience! It's in the historic courthouse where some of the actual mob hearings took place. It has three floors and a basement and is so full of amazing history. The exhibits are described in detail with plenty of historical videos and documentaries playing throughout. Expect to spend plenty of time- it's well worth the time and money! I like how the documentaries have a timer counting backwards so as you find one, you know exactly how long it is and where you are in the loop. You'll learn about not just the mob, but how and why they came to be. You'll also learn about the history of immigration, ballistics, federal law enforcement as they tried to catch up, wire tapping - there's a lot. We got very lucky and was there when Frank Calabresse Jr was speaking. Do yourself a favor and listen to his story and get his book. It's fascinating.

Man we loved this place. So much to read and see. 3 levels with the history of the mob and how it tied into Las Vegas. There was a wall of mobsters and I wish I had taken a pic to read up on after we left. They have an elevator, which we utilized. After you’re done hit up the speak easy in the basement and grab a cocktail the way it used to be. Thoroughly enjoyed that.

Great museum that outlines the history of organized crime in America. The museum itself is in an historic building where trials were held. There are a lot of interesting artifacts and there is a good amount of multimedia content. Don’t forget to visit the speakeasy downstairs, but don’t go without the password.

We bought tickets for both the regular museum and Brilliant! We arrived right at sunset which was perfect. The lighted museum space is pretty small and you can see everything on less than 20 minutes. Brilliant! is a add on show that "lights" some broken signs with projection mapping to music, in a nearby space. It was amazing and well worth the upgrade. Is heavy on old Vegas, so if you love Vegas you should see it at least once. The prices are a bit high, but I'm really glad we finally saw it.

Very cool history of Vegas, tons of signs and you can see the overflow of signs they don't even have on display as now. I did overhear that they are trying to find a large space so they can display everything (or more) of what they have. We walked, self-guided, though in about 20 minutes, but if you stop to read every sign and/or do a guided tour, you could easily spend more time there. Purchased tickets in advance and got in right ay our reserved time.

Finally got to visit. The museum has been sold out the past 3x we have gone to Vegas so definitely buy tickets in advance. (I purchased online in January for our March trip). Very cool place with old neon. Disappointed that the Sahara didn't light up. I heard they were moving to bigger property so maybe they will have more neon lit up in a bigger place. Great way to preserve the history of Vegas.
