The Las Vegas City Council took another step forward this morning on building a mob museum in the city’s downtown.

And they also heard it is still on track to be open to the public in a little more than a year in the historic federal office building and post office building at 300 Stewart.

On a 6-1 vote, the council approved spending another $83,020 from the Nevada Commission for Cultural Affairs to continue seismic retrofit measures so the building can be used as the mob museum, officially known as the Las Vegas Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement.
