Explore the Real History Behind Organized Crime and Law Enforcement
The Mob Museum, officially the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, examines the continuing struggle between organized crime and the agencies created to stop it. The Downtown Las Vegas museum uses original artifacts, restored historic spaces, photographs, film, audio, interactive exhibits, and first-person accounts to present both sides of that history.
The museum occupies the former federal courthouse and U.S. Post Office where nationally televised Senate hearings investigated organized crime in the early 1950s. Visitors can stand inside the restored courtroom, examine evidence connected to major criminal cases, and follow the development of organized crime from its early roots through modern criminal networks.
The experience extends across four floors, beginning with early organized crime and continuing through Prohibition, Las Vegas casino history, law-enforcement methods, forensic science, and current international crime. Guests can explore at their own pace, although reading the displays and trying interactive features can easily fill several hours.
Visitors comparing the museum with other Las Vegas tours and attractions should consider whether they want general admission only or a visit that also includes one of the capacity-controlled premium experiences.

Kefauver Courtroom
Enter the restored federal courtroom where the U.S. Senate’s Kefauver Committee held nationally publicized organized-crime hearings in 1950. The hearings helped expose the influence of criminal networks to a national audience.
Al Capone Artifacts
Displays connected to Al Capone include a Colt Model 1911 pistol that remained within the Capone family for decades, along with material examining his criminal organization, public image, and prosecution.
Organized Crime in Las Vegas
Learn how organized-crime figures influenced casino ownership, skimming operations, labor, entertainment, politics, and the growth of Las Vegas before increased regulation and corporate ownership changed the industry.
Law Enforcement and Forensic Science
Exhibits explain surveillance, wiretapping, fingerprint analysis, ballistics, courtroom evidence, undercover work, and the investigative methods used to identify and prosecute criminal organizations.
Modern Organized Crime
Later galleries examine international criminal networks, cybercrime, human trafficking, illegal markets, corruption, and the ways organized crime continues to adapt to technology and global commerce.
