It will add to the museum’s existing building, the first federal structure built in Las Vegas in 1933 that once housed a federal courthouse and post office.“As the Museum looks toward its 15th anniversary in February, we remain focused on delivering a unique, world-class experience for Southern Nevadans and our national and international visitors,” said Jonathan Ullman, President and CEO, The Mob Museum. “This land acquisition exemplifies our nonprofit’s ongoing reinvestment in our historic location and unlocks a wide range of exciting possibilities as we chart the future of The Mob Museum.”The land, which was acquired from former owner of the Downtown Grand Hotel &amp; Casino, CIM Group, Inc., will add to a 2022 acquisition of nearly 30,000 square feet east of the main building, expanding its footprint along Stewart Avenue and Fourth Street. That expansion currently serves as the Starlight Plaza outdoor event space.The announcement comes as the museum approaches its 15th anniversary in February 2027. The Museum has welcomed more than 5 million visitors while becoming an American Alliance of Museums accredited institution.</div></body>
