The Mob Museum
The Mob Museum (officially the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement) occupies a restored 1933 federal courthouse in Downtown Las Vegas. Four floors of immersive exhibits, authentic artifacts, and interactive experiences — including a working Prohibition-era speakeasy — chronicle the century-long war between organized crime and law enforcement.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to book tickets in advance?
- Online reservations are strongly encouraged by the museum to guarantee availability, especially for timed interactive experiences like the Crime Lab and Use of Force Simulator. General Admission tickets allow flexible arrival within operating hours.
- What are the Mob Museum's hours?
- The museum is open daily 9 a.m.–9 p.m. The Underground speakeasy and distillery keeps later hours: Sunday–Thursday 11 a.m.–11 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 11 a.m.–midnight. Check themobmuseum.org for early-closure dates before you visit.
- How do I get to the Mob Museum from the Strip?
- The free Downtown Loop shuttle stops at the Mob Museum and connects to Fremont Street. Alternatively, RTC bus routes 108 or 109 reach the Bonneville Transit Center downtown, then The Deuce stops at Stewart & 4th — a short walk away. Rideshare from the Strip typically takes 15–20 minutes.
- Is there a free or discounted day for locals?
- Nevada residents receive a discounted rate of $19.95 any day, and admission is free for Nevada residents on the first Tuesday of each month. Valid Nevada ID is required at the door.
- Is parking available at the Mob Museum?
- A limited parking lot sits directly next to the museum at $8 for the first four hours, with additional hourly charges after that. If the lot is full, nearby casino garages are a walkable alternative.
- Is the Mob Museum suitable for children?
- Children under 10 enter free, but the museum's content — covering organized crime violence, law enforcement operations, and graphic historical events — is best suited for ages 11 and up. Parents should use discretion given some mature themes and imagery throughout the exhibits.
- What is The Underground speakeasy at the Mob Museum?
- The Underground is a Prohibition-era themed bar and working distillery in the museum's basement, included with museum admission. It serves craft cocktails and Prohibition-era drinks; entry requires a weekly password posted on the Underground's Instagram. Guests must be 21+ with valid ID.
- How much does Mob Museum admission cost?
- As of summer 2026, general admission is $37.95 for adults and $19.95 for Nevada residents. Children under 10 enter free. Buying tickets online before 11 a.m. or after 5 p.m. saves non-Nevada residents $7.
