Newport Gangsters Tour

By Angela Ash

The Newport Gangsters Tour is phenomenal.  The mobster craze has definitely reared its head again, partly due to the huge success of HBO's Boardwalk Empire, a prohibition-time drama that follows the trials and tribulations of some of the east coast's most famous and dangerous crime bosses.

American Legacy Tours offers a virtual treasure trove of tours to choose from, offering guided explorations of history, politic, architecture, and crime.  These are professional tours with knowledgeable guides who know their stories and relay them in an entertaining, informative manner.  With reasonable prices and convenient schedules, many customers book multiple outings, with discount tickets available at the end of every tour. 

The Newport Gangsters Tour is so much fun that's it's almost illegal.  Many people don't realize what a big part Newport played during Prohibition, with many notorious gangsters calling Newport home.  See the buildings that once housed casinos, brothels, saloons, and many criminal organizations.  Starting off with an informative video presentation in what was once an old casino, guests then find themselves immersed in the world that a "Newport Gangster" would have lived in.  After experiencing many Mob related attractions and tours that Las Vegas has to offer, there is no question that this is a top-notch, fascinating portrayal of organized crime.
