Mob Museum, Crime and law enforcement museum in Downtown Las Vegas, United States

This institution spreads across three floors in a former courthouse in the heart of Las Vegas, documenting the relationship between crime and justice. Artifacts, photographs, multimedia installations, and reconstructed rooms offer insight into investigators' work and the methods of organized networks.

The building was completed in 1933 as a federal courthouse and later hosted important hearings on organized crime during the 1950s. Its conversion into this facility occurred in 2012 to preserve the story of confrontation between government agencies and criminal structures.

The permanent collection includes interrogation cells, courtroom spaces, and weapons from real investigations, allowing visitors to understand enforcement techniques and criminal strategies. Interactive stations convey how agents worked undercover and how organized groups exercised power.

The tour begins on the top floor and guides visitors gradually downward through different thematic areas. Multimedia elements, films, and audio stations complement the exhibits, so allowing enough time for exploration is recommended.

One room holds an original wall from a 1929 Chicago scene, its visible bullet holes documenting the violence of that era. Forensic exhibits allow visitors to analyze fingerprints and step into the role of investigators themselves.

Alternative entertainment in Nevada

Nevada offers far more than the casinos of Las Vegas and Reno. The Clown Motel in Tonopah houses an unusual collection, while the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas preserves historic electric signs. The Pinball Hall of Fame displays machines spanning several decades, and the International Car Forest near Goldfield presents painted vehicles as outdoor art. History seekers can explore the ghost town of Rhyolite near Beatty with its abandoned mining era buildings and the Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings, a working tavern since 1913.

Las Vegas attractions: museums, shows, landmarks

Las Vegas offers numerous museums on Nevada's history, Cirque du Soleil performances, air-conditioned amusement parks, historic casinos, and entertainment centers. The city hosts recognizable landmarks such as the replica of the Eiffel Tower, the Bellagio Fountains, and the Mirage Volcano. Visitors can explore local heritage at the Neon Museum, view the city from the Stratosphere Tower, or discover the surroundings of Red Rock Canyon. Permanent exhibitions display Shelby automobiles, Nevada's atomic tests, and burlesque history. The attractions combine entertainment with cultural and historical themes, offering both indoor and outdoor experiences in the desert city.
