My Bloody Valentine: A Las Vegas Virtual Reality Experience Of The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre

https---blogs-images.forbes.com-michaelgoldstein-files-2019-01-Mob-Museum-Massacre-WallPresented in partnership with the Chicago History Museum, the VR experience transports you to the exact spots where the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre unfolded, by superimposing images from then and now in virtual reality. Audiences can use their smartphones and Google Cardboard VR Goggles or use Oculus Go on YouTube’s 360 channel to be immersed in the Roaring ’20s.

A narrator tells the tale of the massacre while giving a virtual tour of the sites and historical photos. It gives eye-opening insights into the infamous shooting, when Chicago police found the bodies of seven men, shot in the back and riddled with bullets in a Northside garage. All the participants were associated with Prohibition-era bootlegging gangs led by Al Capone and Bugs Moran.

If you’d like a selfie, the Mob Museum even owns the re-assembled wall where the Massacre occurred, including bullet holes.
