LAS VEGAS, NV – Tuesday March 29, 2011 – Creators of The Las Vegas Mob Experience were joined by family members of the iconic/historic gangsters at The Tropicana Las Vegas for the opening of The Las Vegas Mob Experience this week. Â They were joined by Hollywood icon James Caan (The Godfather, “Las Vegas”), one of several celebrity “gangster guides” who take you through the experience – educating the viewer (through videos and holograms) on the mob and how Vegas worked back in the day.
Also in attendance at Tuesday night’s red carpet gala were Gangster Guides Frank Vincent (“The Sopranos”, Goodfellas) and Tony Sirico (“The Sopranos”, Goodfellas) along with celebrity guests Pamela Anderson (“Baywatch”), Peter Greene (Pulp Fiction, The Usual Suspects), Rick Harrison (“Pawn Stars”) and more.
The Las Vegas Mob Experience is an immersive, highly interactive journey through time. Anchored by the largest collection of authentic artifacts, memorabilia, photos and videos of organized crime ever assembled, this attraction explores the history of organized crime and the impact its major players had on the building of Las Vegas.
The descendants of these mobsters offered fascinating, first-hand accounts and an interesting perspective of whom these people really were, not how they’ve been portrayed in Hollywood.
