\u00a9 The Mob Museum<\/p><\/div>\n

How did a barren patch of Nevada desert magically transform into the glitzy, glammy stomping ground of gamblers, dancers and hordes of Wayne Newton fans? It took a bit of innovation, lotsof electricity and loads of mob money. The Las Vegas Mob Museum<\/a><\/strong> pays tribute to that history and, this December, the museum’s Repeal Day Party pays tribute to what proved to be a pivotal day in history for gangsters and party people alike\u2014the end of Prohibition.<\/p>\n

The museum’s Repeal Day Party<\/strong><\/a> kicks off at 7pm on December 5<\/strong> with a toast by Las Vegas<\/a>‘ mayor. Revelers are then encouraged to party like it’s 1933, the year Prohibition was repealed, with casino table games, craft cocktails from some of the city\u2019s top mixologists and a Roaring 20s Costume Contest. Another event highlight is the Second Annual Boss of the Bars Cocktail Competition<\/a>, open to all downtown bars. Contestants will vie to create the best Prohibition-era-inspired cocktails, with the winning bar taking home a custom-designed Repeal Day Cup. Joy Robertson, host and producer on the FoodChannel.com<\/a>, is among the judges.<\/p>\n

For those who can’t make it to Vegas, the action extends to Instagram. Follow\u00a0@TheMobMuseum for a chance to win a trip with the #RepealDayTMM Instagram Contest Giveaway<\/strong>. Contestants should post either a selfie with a favorite cocktail or a creative picture of a favorite cocktail at a favorite bar; use the hashtag #RepealDayTMM and be sure to tag the image @TheMobMuseum. The winner will receive two Delta Airlines flight vouchers courtesy of Orbitz<\/a>, a two-night stay in a plush suite at the historic Golden Gate Hotel & Casino<\/a> and a round of classic cocktails at Bar Prohibition. Additional rules and details are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
