Mafia Museum

Las Vegas Honors Founding Fathers With FBI's Help

— December 16, 2007 — World
It's an accepted fact that Jewish mobsters Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel and his money man, Meyer Lansky founded Las Vegas. The FBI who pursued them have made it clear they want to play a role in telling their story.

The Las Vegas mayor, a former defense attorney whose clients once included mobsters Meyer Lansky and Anthony "Tony the Ant" Spilotro and had a cameo appearance in the 1995 Robert De Niro-Joe Pesci movie Casino, has made the “Mob Museum” a priority since being elected in 1999. Warren Beatty retold this story in his 1991 film, Bugsy, where he played the title character Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel.
Trend Themes
1. Mobster Tourism - The creation of a Mafia-themed museum in Las Vegas presents an opportunity for the tourism industry to capitalize on the fascination with organized crime history.
2. Interactive Museum Experiences - The Mob Museum's collaboration with the FBI highlights a trend of museums integrating interactive elements and immersive storytelling to enhance visitor engagement.
3. Criminal History Education - The emphasis on telling the story of mobsters Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel and Meyer Lansky presents an opportunity for educational institutions and online learning platforms to develop courses on criminal history and its impact on society.
Industry Implications
1. Travel and Tourism - The Mob Museum can drive increased visitor numbers to Las Vegas, creating potential opportunities for hotels, restaurants, and other businesses in the travel and tourism industry.
2. Museum and Exhibition - The Mob Museum's focus on interactivity and storytelling highlights the potential for innovation in the museum industry, encouraging other museums to adopt immersive experiences and collaborate with external organizations like the FBI.
3. Education and E-learning - The interest in criminal history demonstrated by the Mob Museum's founding story presents an opportunity for educational institutions and e-learning platforms to develop courses and resources that examine the impact and legacy of organized crime.
