Ronald J. Pawley enjoys traveling, and one of his favorite destinations is Las Vegas, Nevada. There are many attractions in Las Vegas besides gambling, including the Mob Museum which features exhibits on organized crime through interactive displays. The museum also recently opened the Speakeasy bar with artifacts from the 1920s. Thrill-seekers can experience racing at Speedvegas which has a 1.5 mile track with varying terrain and high-performance cars to drive.

department, Ronald J. Pawley has pursued
his interests in outdoor art and travel. One
of Ronald J. Pawley’s favorite destinations
is Las Vegas, Nevada.
There is plenty to do in the city besides
gambling. One popular attraction is the
Mob Museum at 300 Stewart Avenue,
known officially as the National Museum of
Organized Crime and Law Enforcement.
Located (perhaps ironically) in a
repurposed courthouse, the museum
features interactive exhibits about
organized crime in the United States and
around the world.

3. Recently, the Mob Museum opened the Speakeasy, a
working bar that includes many artifacts from the Roaring
Twenties, when most alcoholic beverages were prohibited.
Jazz artists also perform at the Speakeasy.

4. Thrill-seekers can experience Speedvegas, situated 15 minutes from Las Vegas’
main drag. Built at a cost of $35 million, it consists of a 1.5-mile racetrack with a
60-foot change in elevation, 12 tight turns, and a 1,000-foot straightaway.
Driving coaches put participants through their paces in a variety of cars, ranging
from the Ferrari 488 GTB and the Acura NSX to the Lamborghini Huracan and the
Corvette 51.
