Hello everyone, Reed here. I'm back. I know we've already released the final episode of the series, but I'm coming to you with a little more mobbed up.

This past week, the Ma Museums Jeff Schumacher and I hosted a live virtual event.

We brought up a couple panels with some of the voices you've heard throughout this series

and aired a follow-up interview I conducted with Senator Harry Reed.

Now we know everyone wasn't able to tune in live, so we've decided to release the audio of the event as a bonus

episode. So if the rest of this sounds a little different from our other

episodes well keep in mind that it's pulled from Facebook live stream

not to mention that we were all

wearing masks and social distancing throughout the event. If you'd prefer to watch the

event you can head over to review journal.com or go to the Las Vegas review

journal Facebook page.

Otherwise, stay tuned.

For the next hour, give her take, we will be exploring the history of the mob in Las Vegas and taking you inside mob up the fight for Las Vegas, an 11-part podcast series from the Las Vegas Review Journal and the Ma Museum.

I am the host of that podcast, Reed Redmond, and I'm joined by Ma Museum Vice President of

exhibits and programs, Jeff Schumacher.

We are coming to you live from inside the Ma Museum, and Jeff, before we bring out our first

guests of the evening, can you tell us a little bit about the room that we're sitting in?

Absolutely. So we're in the courtroom on the second floor of the Mob Museum.

Of course the museum's located in a historic building, it was the first federal courthouse and post office in Las Vegas,

opened in 1933.

And this courtroom has been restored to its original glory.

And so this is really one of the center pieces of the museum.
