The Mob Museum, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, is an interactive Museum dedicated to the history of organized crime and law enforcement. The Museum presents a bold and authentic view of organized crime's impact on Las Vegas history, as well as, its unique imprint on America and the world. The Museum presents the real stories and actual events of Mob history via interactive and engaging exhibits that reveal all sides of the story about the role of organized crime in the U.S. The Mob Museum offers multiple perspectives and provides a contemporary, engaging, challenging and educational experience.

The Museum was designed by a world-class team known for other successful museums that serve to reinvigorate communities and neighborhoods, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio and the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. This highly experienced team of staff, board members and consultants worked together to create one of Las Vegas' major attractions and a must-see for millions of tourists and locals alike.

Of the total amount, approximately $12.4 million came from general fund sources and $8.3 million coming from matching local, state and federal grants that were awarded following the city's financial commitment from both its general fund and Redevelopment Agency funding source that can only be spent on projects located in the city's redevelopment area. General funds were allocated for the Museum in 2004. Grants of note include a Save America's Treasures grant from the National Park Service, multi-year grants from the Nevada Commission for Cultural Affairs and local grants from the Commission for the Las Vegas Centennial and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors
