    Once you buy your tickets you get a wristband that allows you to leave and come back. Great if you want to catch a bite but don't want to rush through the exhibits.

    It's like Disney for mobs. The attention to detail is amazing. If you are fascinated with mobsters and the mafia definitely check this out.

    Three stories of nothing but the mob. It's so well designed and has a great flow with a ton of interactive displays throughout. Set aside 2-3 hours for everything. Parking is $5 for three hours.

    This place is so awesome. So much to see and cool simulations. It’s 4 floors and I spent 3 hours and only got through 2 floors. Well worth the ticket price.

    There's a reason this was voted as Best Museum in NV Mag. Incredibly well done & informative, tech is put to good use making the experience fun & immersive. Well worth the visit to Fremont alone.

    For an unconventional day out, treat your group to an excursion unlike any other - the entire museum is available to rent for private parties, corporate events, or just because you don't like crowds.

    Great speakers scheduled for this year. The membership is quickly recovered in a couple of visits to the Museum or the events. Always recommend this place.

    At first I thought the cost was a bit high, about 25.00 per adult. However, there is so much to see! Worth the money. Great photos, artifacts and videos throughout.

    Discounts for Military, Police and Teachers. Way to go. Find a coupon for $2.00 off to use. Try not to drive it cost $5.00 to park at the Museum. But it is a neat place to spend a few hours.

    So much to learn ! You can spend hours here - worth the visit. Make sure to check out the 1st floor for a photo wall of celebs who portrayed monsters in movies

    This is a really informative piece of history. I strongly recommend checking this place out. The good thing is that when you pay admission, it will allow you in/out flexibility on same day visit.

    The mob museum is packed with information. It was very active and had lots of interactive displays. I loved it and I'm not a mob fanatic like some. Great way to enjoys an hour or so!

    This gives a comprehensive account of the origins and growth of organized crime in America. It is a must see for anyone interested in interactive history. Reminds me of a Smithsonian museum.

    Immense amount of things to learn. Get the tour you will not regret it. They will explain a lot and you will want to stay longer for more.

    A great off-the-strip activity! A pretty interactive museum packed with information. Set aside a couple hours to soak it all up.

    The $19.95 entry fee is well worth it! We spent 3 1/2 hours there. With your wristband you can also leave and come back later that day.

    Take a bit of the family business home with you - Las Vegas and Godfather editions of Monopoly, casino-precision dice and a deluxe, clay-chip poker set are available for purchase in the on-site store.

    A lot of reading but some interesting stuff and fun interactive tommy gun and revolver displays! But of culture (be it dark culture) in an otherwise culture lacking city!

    Psst. Few people know this, but upon restoring the building for The Mob Museum a gin bottle was found in a 3rd floor wall. The building was built in 1933 -- the last year of prohibition.

    The federal courthouse where the 1950 Kefauver Hearings on Organized Crime were held is now a museum dedicated to the history of mobsters. Among the exhibits are real weapons used by Mafia hit men.

    Lots of cool things to see here. The wall from the St. Valentine's Day massacre (complete with bullet holes) and other items from the Prohibition era.

    Watch all of the movies as you go through the museum. They are more interesting than the actual exhibits.

    Great place to visit. Excellent value. Discounts almost always available through online search. Gives an excellent history of the Mob and ties to Las Vegas. Highly Recommend.

    I think it's very educational it shows a lot of what happened back in the early thirties and forties and fifties and it's an experience that I think everyone should experience

    On the 3rd floor -- in the prohibition section -- make sure you wait until the movie stops & screen goes up. An artifact will be revealed.

    The Mob Museum (originally a Courthouse & Post Office) was built in 1933 - the last year of prohibition. Work crews built a Gin bottle into a west side wall trying to cover up their drinking.
