The city hyped a “Big Announcement at Today’s Las Vegas City Council Meeting Regarding Downtown Museum.” The Review-Journal issued a news flash after the mob museum’s name was announced Tuesday — but neglected to include the name! It wasn’t news of any size because Mayor Oscar Goodman disclosed the name in August: The Las Vegas Law Enforcement and Organized Crime Museum. But the mayor got a second bite of the always-ripe-for-manipulation media apple. The logo lampoons the government’s habit of document redaction. No wonder ex-FBI chief Ellen Knowlton is on the board. Now we know this will be a serious endeavor, the feds won’t be ridiculed and the mob won’t be glorified. Phew.
