About this audio guide
This guide to The Mob Museum in Las Vegas follows a single bullet-pocked wall from a Chicago garage where seven of Bugs Moran's men were gunned down on February 14, 1929, allegedly on Al Capone's orders, through decades as a traveling exhibit and even a nightclub restroom before it landed here. It also turns to the building itself, a 1933 federal courthouse where Senator Estes Kefauver put Nevada's casino operators under oath in 1950, in hearings the country watched live on television for the first time. Listen for how the bricks were lettered and numbered long before this museum ever existed.
