The museum is located in an early 1900s Tudor mansion, which also has a bit of a reputation for some dark and sinister paranormal activities. Zak Bagans is a paranormal investigator with the Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures, and with his experience, has created one of the eeriest adventures you can have in Las Vegas. The museum has been voted as the #1 Best Haunted Destination in America by USA Today’s Readers Choice Awards, and we can’t disagree. Zac Bagans’ Haunted Museum is one of the newest additions to the Las Vegas museum scene, and it’s also one of the most popular, along with being one of the scariest attractions in Sin City. Today, each floor is dedicated to a different theme of the exhibit, with exhibits including 100 Years of Made Men, The Kefauver Hearings, Organized Crime Today, a crime lab, and so much more.Īfter you’re done exploring the history of organized crime and law enforcement, head down to the basement where you’ll find a speakeasy, distillery, and an exhibit on prohibition, just to help you all the more appreciate that bourbon on the rocks you’re sipping on. Just imagine for a minute the secrets this building could spill if it could take. The Mob Museum is located in Downtown Las Vegas and is housed in the former Las Vegas US Post Office and Courthouse. If you’re interested in the history of organized crime, its effect on history, and have an interest in events like the Valentine’s Day Massacre, the Mob Museum is a cool must-see museum to add to your list. Las Vegas has never had a reputation of being an innocent city, but back in the day, it was a destination that some of the most notorious criminals and mobsters claimed as their own personal playground.

The museum is open into the evening, so dusk or just after is a great time to visit and also see some of the lights all lit up in their full glory.

Pro Tip: Make sure to bring your camera and plan on taking lots of pics. Then visit the North Gallery for signs and lost arcade art that has been rescued but not yet restored. Visit the Neon Boneyard for a glimpse of signs you’ll immediately recognize and others that will spark your curiosity. Many of the signs have been restored, and you can view them up close and personal.
Madame Tussauds does a great job of memorializing a wide variety of public figures in wax form that ranges from rappers to NASCAR drivers. Safe to say that I wouldn’t want to be on the overnight cleaning crew. While it’s a testament to the artistic ability of the sculptors, moving through a room with ultra-realistic depictions of individuals frozen in time is a bit creepy. Unnervingly, there were several occasions when I mistook a wax figure for a real person upon entering a room.
Just as I remember from my visit years ago, the wax figurines are stunningly realistic. I visited right away in the morning and avoided the crowds, and was essentially walking through the exhibits by myself. The first stop in the wax museum is a green screen photo opportunity that is either included in your ticket (if you upgraded to one that includes the Photo Pass), or will be available for purchase at the end of the visit.Īs I was scoping Madame Tussauds out alone, I decided to blow past the photo opp.
