text: This is a five star museum.   I seriously can NOT give this less than five stars.  It opened this year, 2012, in February, and you can tell that a lot of time and money was put in to the development of it.  It is still in pristine condition and let me say, it is fantastic.  \n\nI have to say that the beauty of this museum is that they made it interesting for everyone in the simple fact that no matter what YOUR way of learning is, there is something that will pique your interest.  You will discover the mafia connection in the United States from the early 1900s to the present, in print, in artifacts, in videos, and in sound.  It is three stories of amazing detail and experiences.  You'll hear from mafiosos and FBI agents.  You'll see movies and you'll hear real wiretaps.  You'll see the actual clothes worn in the golden age of Vegas Wiseguys and the actual barber chair that Albert Anastatsia was shot in.  The show in the ACTUAL courtroom where the Kefauver hearings took place was really wonderful.\n\nThere was only one thing that we saw that was a problem and that is they haven't finished adding all of the tags that tell you what things are.  For example, there is a graphic exhibit that discusses murders and the weapons used and the weapons are not labeled.  This is an area they are still completing.  It's still awesome to see, but I can't wait until they have that finished.\n\nWe visited this museum and paid our $18 a head to get in ($14 for seniors!).  We spent, approximately, 1 hour per floor on three floors that gave us the history of the mob from the top floor down to today.  It was one of the best museums I have visited and I highly recommend anyone visiting Vegas take some time to take a look at this.  I loved it and will probably visit again in the future.\n\nReally... do this  But, I don't recommend for children.  It's an adult experience.
