The Mob Museum in Las Vegas is adding to its growing list of accolades, earning several new honors recognizing its excellence in cultural programming, educational outreach, leadership and visitor experiences.
The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement recently announced recognition from the Las Vegas Weekly’s 2026 Best of Vegas Awards, Vegas Inc.’s Women Inspiring Nevada Awards and the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration’s (CILC) Pinnacle Awards.
Among the highlights, The Mob Museum was named Best Museum in the Las Vegas Weekly’s 2026 Best of Vegas Awards. The annual awards recognize outstanding businesses and attractions throughout Southern Nevada, with winners selected through public nominations and voting.
The recognition also extended to the museum’s leadership team. Ashley Miller, vice president of marketing and communications, was named a 2026 Women Inspiring Nevada honoree by Vegas Inc.
Miller leads a 13-person marketing and communications team and oversees the museum’s brand strategy, advertising, public relations, retail and sales initiatives. During her tenure, she has helped expand the institution’s visibility through creative campaigns, strategic partnerships and innovative projects.
Her accomplishments include launching the museum’s first airport retail store at Harry Reid International Airport, developing the branding for The Starlight Plaza and creating Inside the Life, the museum’s first entirely in-house podcast. The podcast earned a Webby nomination and multiple industry awards.
The museum also received a 2025-2026 Pinnacle Award from CILC, recognizing the quality of its interactive virtual educational programming. The annual awards recognize organizations that deliver outstanding live virtual learning experiences, evaluating educational quality, audience engagement and lasting impact.
The Mob Museum was recognized alongside prominent cultural institutions, including the Cleveland Museum of Art, International Spy Museum, National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Smithsonian American Art Museum and Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery.
Education remains an important part of the museum’s mission. Through its Investigating History program, the institution provides free educational resources to schools throughout Southern Nevada, reaching more than 10,000 students annually in grades two through 12.
In 2025, the museum delivered more than 300 presentations to 141 schools and groups, with 67% of those presentations serving Title I schools in Clark County. Its virtual programming also allows educators and students beyond Las Vegas to explore the history of organized crime and law enforcement.
“These honors reflect the many different ways The Mob Museum fulfills its mission, from engaging visitors and students to developing innovative programming and cultivating strong leadership,” said Jonathan Ullman, the museum’s president and CEO.
Located in a historic 1933 federal courthouse in downtown Las Vegas, The Mob Museum features four floors of exhibits, artifacts and interactive experiences exploring organized crime and law enforcement history.
