300 Stewart Ave., Downtown Las Vegas, (702) 229-2734. Daily 10am-7pm. $21.95, 65+ $17.95, 11-17 $13.95. Guided tours daily; $10.
Located within the actual courthouse that once was used to try famous mobsters, the macabre Mob Museum displays both the actual wall from the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and the barber chair in which sat gangster Albert Anastasia when he was murdered. Artifacts include weapons, and you can sit in an electric chair and take a selfie. Start your self-guided tour at the top, on the third floor, and work your way down, exiting through an enticing array of souvenirs in the gift shop. Interactive exhibits and video presentations provide insight. Beer and snacks are available, and you are welcome to beat the heat sipping a cold one as you walk through the
museum.
