 THE MOB MUSEUM HOSTS ANNUAL KEFAUVER FREE DAY FRIDAY, NOV. 15

WHAT:
The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, announces FREE museum admission for Nevada residents and buy-one, get-one admission for non-residents to celebrate Kefauver Day, which commemorates the U.S. Senate investigative committee hearing on organized crime in interstate commerce that took place in the Museum’s courtroom on Nov. 15, 1950. Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy a display of vintage Cadillacs courtesy of Las Vegas’ Cadillac Club.

Named after committee chairman Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, the Kefauver hearings were televised nationwide and brought organized crime into the living rooms of 30 million Americans for the first time. Held in 14 U.S. cities from 1950 to 1951, the Kefauver hearings were pivotal in the national fight against organized crime, as well as events that influenced the development of Las Vegas.

Free admission for Nevada residents and buy-one, get-one admission for non-residents furthers the Museum’s mission and ensures accessibility and reach within the community. Kefauver Day is generously sponsored by Bank of Nevada.
