I am an avid follower of the Pawn Stars show on TV. Since we were in Las Vegas that day and we had some free time at our hand, my wife and I decided to visit the Pawn Shop. We arrived at the store around 2:00 p.m. Contrary to what many have reported here, parking was ample and the waiting line to get in was not bad. We waited less than 10 minutes to get in.
As many have reported here, the shopping (viewing) area is a little small. We recognized many items in the showcases as ones we have seen on the TV shows. Most of the people were window shopping and taking pictures. We decided to purchase a 1977 Ike Silver coin along with a T-shirt. Granted that items in shop are not cheap, but we do not visit Las Vegas every week. We will keep the coin and will give the T-Shirt to our son-in-law.
The staff who assisted us with our purchases were very friendly and cordial. I mentioned to the pawn station manager that I have every issue of the Playboy magazine since 1979, all in mint condition, and would like to sell them. He asked me to call in advance and set up an appointment as they may be interested in taping the transaction.
Overall, we enjoyed visiting the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop and we will stop there again should we find ourselves in Las Vegas again.
We are giving a 4.5 / 5.0 points for the shop.
