The Mob Museum, officially the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, is a history museum located in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada.
Opened February 14, 2012, the Mob Museum is dedicated to showcasing the artifacts, stories, and history of organized crime in the United States, as well as law enforcement actions and initiatives to prevent such crimes.
The museum is housed in the former Las Vegas post office and courthouse, which was built in 1933 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The museum is located on Stewart Avenue, two blocks north of Fremont Street, the main artery of the downtown casino district.
Developed under the creative direction of Dennis Barrie, co-creator of the International Spy Museum and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the museum is governed by a non-profit board, the "300 Stewart Avenue Corporation", in partnership with the City of Las Vegas. The museum is dedicated to the controversial relationship between organized crime and law enforcement in the historical context of Las Vegas and throughout the United States.
