A building of 1933
The Las Vegas Post Office and Courthouse opened in 1933 on Stewart Avenue, a short walk from what is now Fremont Street. It is a neoclassical building, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
A hearing in the courtroom
In 1950 and 1951 the United States Senate’s Kefauver Committee held hearings on organised crime in cities around the country. One of them took place in this building’s second-floor courtroom, which visitors can now see.
Restored for a museum
The federal government sold the building to the city in 2000 for one dollar, on condition that it was restored and given a cultural use. After its restoration it opened as the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement on 14 February 2012.
