The city of Las Vegas is looking to add a “Mob Museum” to its already impressive list of entertainment. Officials have now pledged $800,000 to the project, which is to be opened in a historic downtown Las Vegas post office.
The focus of the museum will be to showcase southern Nevada's colourful and lore-filled Mafia past without glorifying the organized crime.
"There's no other museum like this," said Ellen Knowlton, the former head of the Las Vegas FBI office and current president of the non-profit organization working with the city to open the museum.
The old post office is located on Stewart Avenue next to the shuttered Lady Luck Casino. The 76 year old building was also the city’s first federal courthouse and will need extensive renovating to make it available to the planned 1 million visitors every year.

Monty Python’s SPAMALOT is a musical, actually no; it is an absolute hilarious musical. It is loosely based upon the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail and like the movie it is a spoof on the legend of King Arthur.
Unlike the movie however, is the excellent Broadway musical that SPAMALOT has become. Eric Idle a member of the Monty Python team wrote the musical’s book and lyrics. He has since collaborated with John Du Prez on the music. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Running since March 17th 2005 SPAMALOT has won 3 Tony awards, including the Tony for best musical of 2004-2005.
