Hello Everyone! I wanted to talk to you guys about the Mob Museum.
For starters, I wanted to say this is one of my favorite museums, as it is walking distance from where I live. I enjoy it very much. Just last night, was about the third or fourth time I have gone to the museum. It is very interesting, it tells the story on how the Mob/Mafia started and who it all began with. Monthly/weekly they have people come in and talk about when they in doing the whole thing, catching the Mobsters, under covers, even 'ex' mobsters, and ones who even still may be under police & FBI protection program. Which I think is very cool. Though I have not gone to any of such things. The forth floor is the courthouse that they have which is pretty cool. One thing I did forget to mention in the biggening is that when I first moved to Las Vegas the museum before it became a museum it was a Postal Service building.
There are some of the items and such when you first enter the museum before you get to the Crime Lab tour area and the Use of Force tour area. which I did do the last time I went. It was pretty fun and very much interactive! I loved that very much so. The suites though are pretty darn nice if I do say so my self! It screams though guy/s persona in some type of manner. In some type of way too it says do not mess with me or else, I am also a 'business owner', and many other things. No I am not glamorizing the Mafia life in any way at all. All I can say is that we should thank them for helping with what we now call Las Vegas, Nevada or "Sin-City" where gambling is legal yet dangerous and very addictive and such. Also for the making of alcohol that everyone loves to indulge on. Such as parties, three day weekends and any other day that calls for a drink.
Right after a little bit of looking around I went to the Crime Lab, and it was amazing! Just like the first time I went and tried the tour. Learned a lot just like the first time! You get to see different things in there. Such as looking at "evidence" and matching bullets to the one that was fired and such. There is also a finger print station, that compares your finger print to either a police officer, FBI agent, or an actual Mobster.
This is my finger print, that I did at the Crime Lab, and I was matched with a Jacob Drucker. An apparent hitman from New Yort, and I'm not even mad about that. It was fun, very interactive. Though on Sunday when I went I totally forgot it was Memorial Day weekend, and the museum was a but more full that it typically is. Perhaps it was because I went on a weekend and I typically do not go places on weekends at all. But I will not lie it was fun getting to go there again.
This picture is part of the Crime Lab tour that I took. Crime Scene phots, evidence and such. I truly enjoyed the tour. Many things that mobsters used to do horrible things, to others or people they were after for whatever reason.
. My second to last stop was the distillery, which has whiskey/tequila tastings. Which I recommend you try it very much so. But remember it is alcohol and you have to be at least 21yrs young. But I do recommend you try it. If you visit the Mob Museum. also that the Speakeasy is right outside where they have the Distillery, where they make there own moonshine. They are working on some new flavors, as when I when this past Sunday, they were working on new flavors that they gave us the people who did the tour a taste of, actually two flavors, and they were pretty good. One of the new flavors was Vanilla which was pretty darn good! It tasted like liquid dessert, you could perhaps mix in your soda if you wanted to, or maybe even hot chocolate, coffee or something if you wanted to give it that extra flavor and it not tasting heavily like alcohol, just that extra kick of Vanilla if you so like vanilla. Another flavor was Jalapeno flavored one, and trust me! Very so good, it had that kick in it in a very good way. I cannot recommend it enough, and reason being is because you never know what new flavor you may try next. If you so wanted to you could, go to the Speakeasy, before of after the tour. Now talking about the Speakeasy let me talk about that, when I went it was Jazz night, it was pretty 'rad'. I truly enjoyed it. As it was taking my self on a date in some way going to the Mob Museum.
The pictures above is what the distillery looks like where the museum makes their own moonshine and such. You will enjoy it very much if you go and book it. As they tell you a small portion of the story of how the Mafia and others started making moonshine the one that made you go blind and very high chance of other things. Moonshine then is not the moonshine now or how they make it. Which I truly enjoy. I cannot talk enough about the distillery enough than I already have. Overall though I truly enjoy going to the Mob Museum very so much.

Now the Speakeasy I went right after I was done with the Distillery tasting tour. It was Jazz night that Sunday. Wich was pretty nice I enjoyed the music very much so, I should say I enjoyed my self very much so I truly did. The first drink I started whit that night was the Giggle Water which was pretty darn good. Its more like a girly drink, though I don't drink much of girly drinks but that one was very good, and I loved how the bartender decorated it with the blackberry on top of the drink. I liked the drink, it was the very first time I tried it, The second drink I went for was Moonshine Mayhem, let me tell you that tasted summer like. Very pineapple like, and the weel of pineapple with the drink was very delicious, just like the blackberry with the Giggle Water. I also did order the Sicilian Style Cheesecake and it was pretty good, it paired with the drinks I drunk that night. The very last drink I ordered was the Marlow which is my favorite one! It comes with a book that you can 'ready' which is pretty neath. Let me tell you, that read was pretty darn good! It will be my go-to drink and read every time I visit the museum.
Perhaps next time I visit the museum may be bigger with more buildings and more things to see and explore and many more things to learn. That will be a pretty neath experience. But until then, I leave you until next time. I see you guys next with something different to talk about. Take care.
With Love,
Venuz
