    The Mob Museum is worth visiting at least once. You don't get to see a museum of this type often in the world, namely, a museum talking about gangsters, how it started in the USA, how law enforcements, intelligence, and government handled it in the past with some real examples. Washington DC's Spy Museum has a bit of reminisce. They are both good and educational museums to visit.

    The museum used to be an old US post office, a historical landmark. You can purchase tickets online or on the spot, the process was easy and straightforward. Staff were all friendly and helpful in providing directions and answering questions. The self-guided tour/visit starts from the third floor, and you work your way down to the first floor. They also have guest speakers who used to be part of the gang members to speak, the information desk can share the schedule, as it varies daily. They also have optional interactive experiences which you have to pay extra for. I did not have time to participate, so can't comment on them.

    It's an informational, educational, and interesting museum. It's located within walking distance of the Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas area. There is a parking lot right outside and a parking garage across the street.

    Budget 3 hours so you are not rushed if you want to see and experience everything thoroughly.

    Only place where you can see so many of the old city signs and lights. Stupid camera rule though where you can only use your phone. Also the admission price is too much.

    Fabulous place 10 minutes walk from the Welcome to Vegas sign. Free to look around, and you can play all the old classic machines. Brings back memories of all the classics from our youth. Better then the casinos!

    The tour was a crisp 2 1/2 hours. Tour guided the whole way. Be wanted you will be in the pitblack for most of the time. There is a lot of smoke being pushed through the place. And A LOT of smells. So if you are sensitive to either I do not recommend. But there is a lot of spooky stuff and it's informative. The tour.guides where amazing. Loved them all. It is over stimulating because in one room there will be over 100 different things to look at in each room. We did a morning tour and afterwards we where dead inside from the over stimulation

    Shelby American is a great little factory and museum. We loved wandering around here and we took loads of photo's. It's a free walkaround if you do not want to do the paid tour. The staff were friendly and helpful, and you can spend as much time as you like looking around. Even the merchandise in the shop is reasonably priced and they have lots of Shelby merchandise you can buy.

    Good place for a walk and still has some flowers and bloom even in the winter, but think it would be significantly better during the growing season overall lots of trails fairly well marked but easy to take a wrong turn

    We walked to the museum from the Strip. It was interesting to visit, giving lots of information about Las Vegas's role in atomic testing. It's self guided.

    Omgosh, 1st I’m a Princess Diana huge groupie, from her wedding to day. I have so many items of her life. When my son & partner and I went I cried for the first 10 minutes. Feel so overwhelmed by being able to see her personal things. IF YOU ARE A TRUE TRUE GROUPIE, get the HEADSET while going through. It’s worth the little extra cost.

    This is a really cool place. There are tons of different rooms to explore, and the whole place is really pretty. My husband and I had a blast. The deduction of rating is for two things: the advertising makes it look better than it really is (although it is really beautiful and psychedelic), and the cost/value. It is a really unique experience, and I would suggest others check it out themselves as we had a lot of fun.

    All of the good things in previous 5* Thrilla Villa reviews are true!
    My parents got me interested in Liberace’s music as a child. I learned so much about Liberace during this glimpse into his life!

    Jonathan Warren had so much knowledge and enthusiasm in conducting the tour. As someone who has sewing experience, I loved seeing Liberace’s costumes with the hand applied sequins, crystals, and lights ( before the invention of LEDs). You have to see the costumes up close to appreciate the detail and hours and hours of work each one took.

    Loved tve tour.

    It was quite fun, but they need more people to help with how to take the photography. We were lucky that all the patrons worked with one another to figure most of it out. Fun place. I would recommend.

    This is the most amazing collection!! It is beautifully and lovingly displayed. Our guide was terrific and we learned so much about the collections and the family. I had read that we would need about an hour to see the display, we took two and could easily have spent more.
    The cars are incredible but there is so much more to see. Memorabilia, antiques, hotwheels, big machinery!
    This is a must do!!
    Thanks for having us

    This is a must see for music fans. You don’t have to love punk to appreciate how well done this place is. I’m more classic rock, R&B and I
    would still recommend a visit. Quality pieces and well thought out exhibits are throughout.
