| - Me and my wife went to Las Vegas last year for our Honeymoon and I was a huge fan of the Pawn Stars show so we made it a point to make sure we definitely visit the shop.
Going to the store, I knew from the beginning that A. I cannot expect Rick, Hoss, OldMan or Chum Lee to be there as they are extremely busy folks. B. The place probably doesn't look like it does on TV.
BIG UNDERSTATEMENT. The place was very small, even for a pawn shop.. Had mostly TV show related merchandise for sale and some jewlery. There were a few artifacts in display cases and elsewhere but nothing that really grabbed my attention. We walked around looking at stuff, bought a shot glass and when we were checking out, I asked the clerk at the counter how she likes working there, she told me she 'FFin' hates it. I was like.... Ok. As we're getting ready to leave the store, I look over in the direction of a counter that says 'No photography in this direction' and there's Rick Harris standing there. I walked up to him and said 'Hey, you probably get this alot, but I just wanted to say I enjoy your show'... He smirks and says a very stern 'Thanks' and as Im walking away, his fat ugly bouncer starts mocking me 'Hey rick I really like your show, hahahaha' and Rick starts laughing with him. That was totally embarassing for someone to do to a patron.
All in all... The place blows. I'll continue watching the show because its actually fiction, but at least I know the real place is crap.
