The annual conference spouse program is headed to the Mob Museum Monday, January 31, 2022!

 

The museum packs a lot of punches — from Tommy guns, film clips, artifacts of real mobsters and a Hawaiian shirt worn by TV mafioso Tony Soprano, to part of the wall from the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in Chicago, to interactive exhibits that clue you into casino scams and mobster trivia. This downtown museum, located in a renovated courthouse where the Kefauver Committee hearings exposed organized crime, is no penny-ante deal. Guests are encouraged to take part in all the museum has to offer, which includes “partici-pating” in a police lineup, reading actual files of mobsters, punching in a city and seeing its mob crime history, watching how agents spied on mobsters and listening to actual wiretaps and tapes of gangster schemes.

Spouses will meet in the Burgundy Room at Paris Las Vegas at 9:00am for continental breakfast. At 9:45am, we will walk the group to the North Door at Paris Las Vegas where they will board the buses. The tour is over at 2 p.m. All participants must carry government issued identification.
