Let´s face it, Las Vegas wouldn´t be what it is today if it weren´t for the likes of Meyer Lansky, Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel and Anthony “Tony the Ant” Spilotro. These famous Las Vegas mobsters are to be the focus of an upcoming Las Vegas attraction, the Mob Museum.

Rather than hide its seamy past, Las Vegas attractions like the Mob Museum will show what life was really like in the world of organized crime, back in the day. The FBI has even volunteered to donate photos, transcripts of wire taps and more incriminating evidence to help visitors to the Las Vegas attraction understand exactly what they went through to capture these infamous mob guys.

The bad news is that the museum isn´t set to open until 2010! However, if you want a Las Vegas attraction that highlights the underworld of Las Vegas back in the beginning, you can take the Las Vegas Mob Tour.

This Las Vegas attraction will take you to the scene of many mob crimes where you will be regaled with the true stories of what these men did to gain the power in Las Vegas. Learn all about their hidden dealings and murders and finally, how they died. It´s a fascinating tour.
