LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

The attraction formerly known as the Las Vegas Mob Experience is re-opening at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino under a new name Thursday.

Mob Attraction Las Vegas will feature some changes to its interactive scenes to improve visitor flow, the attraction's organizers said. A bar will also be added to the attraction's museum portion.

The Mob Experience ran into financial trouble months after its 2011 opening. A bankruptcy judge approved its reorganization plan last month.

Thursday's re-opening comes five months after it shut down temporarily due to its financial issues.

The Mob Attraction Las Vegas will face stiff competition from the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement in downtown Las Vegas, which opened Feb. 14.

General admission is $25, $22 for locals, seniors and military members, and $15 for children ages 6 to 11. Children under 5 are free.
