This Building of Ours: The Story of a Las Vegas Landmark

The building that houses The Mob Museum began its life as the first federal structure in Las Vegas. It held the city’s main post office, federal courtroom and offices for various federal agencies. This new documentary, “This Building of Ours,” details the federal building’s central role in Las Vegas life during the 20th century and its reinvention as The Mob Museum in the 21st century. For decades, the post office on the first floor was a bustling community gathering place, while the courtroom on the second floor played host to a number of high-profile trials and hearings, including the Kefauver Committee hearing on organized crime in 1950.

When we first arrived in Las Vegas in 2016, my assumption was the Mob Museum had to be the biggest tourist trap on the planet. I could not have been more wrong about that. No question it's one of the coolest things about Las Vegas, and an integral part of the local culture.

This is great history. I'd never heard of anyone standing up so well to Joe McCarthy. This was great.
