Fascinating. Unfortunately, we had a small child with us who got bored less than halfway through, so we left. We will absolutely go back, without children, to enjoy the whole experience. Plan on at least 3 hours if you go. Parking was $8, so plan on that as well. They do have an audio tour device for $5, will try that when we go back as well
Super great experience. I wish I was told in advance, at the box office, that there was an event going on and a section would be closed off. It affected things I didn't get to see and some people made it feel uncomfortable trying to read the walls in the bar area. I was in town, only for a little while and I would have given it 5stars otherwise.
Really great history, helps understand some older movie references and things.

Thought it would just be okay, turned out to be fantastic. I would recommend, quite interesting history, and done in a really interesting way. There are things to read, little movies, artifacts, etc. you can rent the audio tour for $5, we did not and we're still there 3 hours without staying to have a drink on the speakeasy.
Staff was very friendly. We got there at 10:30 am and it was already quite busy so be aware of that. 3 floors of winding exhibit so there is a lot to see and take in. There are lots of photographs, video, and artifacts from the time period. It was a fun experience. The speak easy was nice and the staff there were very friendly and service was excellent.
What an incredible learning experience. The staff is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their specific area with complete timelines.
The amount of artifacts contained in this museum is simply astounding. The details that is presented with each artifact is unlike anything I have ever seen.
I highly recommend including the audio as part of your tour. Allow a minimum of 3 plus hours to take advantage of what they have to offer

This was on our list of places to visit. You definitely need to go here. This museum is very well put together and very informative. You will need a minimum of 2 hours to see everything. There is a nice gift shop as you get to the end. The staff was wonderful and they really enhanced the self guided tour. There is an elevator of you need assistance. Don't miss this place!!!
The museum experience is very enlightening and quite in depth. Definitely plan on at least 2 to 4 hours to go through most of it. Quite a bit of reading but also lots of photographs and display as well. You absolutely must go to the speakeasy and try one of their prohibition era cocktails. Decent little food selection as well. Bartenders are all dressed and quite capable.

Because my twin and I are from the city of Chicago, we decided to checkout this museum. Certainly, not a disappointed. Lots of interesting information from the begining of the mobster era until the downfall. However, I'm sure it still exists but not as obvious as before. Yes, you will learn a lot of how it came to Las Vegas but other parts of the country as well. Be forewarned that there a lot of gruesome images that are not for your little ones. Frankly, I wouldn't be my kids unless they are in their teens but even then I wouldn't want them to be influenced. Also, if you ask, they will tell you it takes a few hours, but I believe if you wanted to read everything and see everything, it would take half a day.
Also, if you are military or a student, be sure to use to get a nice discount. It's a $30 ticket for general admission. There is also a speak easy where you can drink and have a meal. Pretty cool!
OVERALL: Be sure to check out while in Vegas
