Las Vegas, NV , 89101-2956 Phone: (702) 229-2734 Website Told from both side, organized crime and that of law enforcement. This fascinating history in America is brought to life through one-of-a-kind artifacts, interactive touch screens and unique displays to interact with law enforcement and organized crime tools. For example, visitors can shoot a simulated Tommy gun, listen to real FBI surveillance tapes on wiretapping equipment or take part in FBI weapons training.
The Museum also features some of the most iconic artifacts in Mob history including the wall from the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in Chicago.
The Museum is housed within the historic former federal courthouse and U.S. Post Office. The courtroom on the second floor is the very courtroom where one of 14 national Kefauver Hearings to expose organized crime was held back in 1950.
Hours of operation: Sunday through Thursday 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, Friday and Saturday 10:00 am to 8:00 pm.

Free admission on February 14th, Valentines day (a portion of the St Valentines Day Massacre wall is part of the museum display) and November 15th, Kefauver day (Kefauver Committee hearings took place here on Nov. 15, 1950).
