Slip behind the password into a Prohibition-era hideaway with a hand-crafted cocktail bar and live-music vibe—an immersive throwback lined with 1920s artifacts. AASE has the Underground all to ourselves for the night. Specialty drinks and beer will be available using the AASE-provided drink tickets.
Walk into the landmark chamber tied to the Kefauver hearings—where the story of organized crime and America’s response came to life. We’ll have exclusive access for AASE programming inside this iconic room. Unlimited soft drinks will be available here.
Explore CSI techniques! Fingerprints, DNA profiling, ballistics, and more in a mediated experience that starts every 30 minutes. We’ve reserved rolling groups starting from 7:00 p.m. and the last group of the night starts at 9:30 p.m.; capacity is 15 participants per time slot and it’s included for AASE attendees.
Once at the museum, you’re just a short walk to the Fremont Street Experience, world famous neon-lit promenade with overhead light shows, live music, street performers, zipline, classic casinos, and great people-watching. This portion is unstructured: explore at your own pace, then head back on our return shuttles.
