  • Came a long way to see this place. Was in town for a mini vacation with co workers and I brought my husband. His main goal was to visit this place. He WAS a huge fan. 1.) Waited in line an hour. Got there around 930am. 2.) Once inside, several unfamiliar faces stood behind the counters. The place is very, very small. The merchandise is ridiculously overpriced, and the overpriced, mostly- Chumlee souvenirs fills up more than one-third of the small store. 3.) Of course, we asked where the Pawn Stars guys were and we were told they were in the back offices of the store because they had just finished filming a segment. (ok....resting up from WHAT exactly??) 4.) After 20 mins, we were told that the guys were going to be filming another segment in 10 mins so we (their FANS) would have to wait outside again. During this 10 mins, the producers handpicked a handful of stand-in customers, had therm sign releases, then instructed the rest of us to leave the building. 4.) My husband quietly told a male staff member that this was a big disappointment. The male staff member's reply: "Well, it's a lot like sex; not everyone is going to enjoy it." (Insightful...?) 5.) At no time did we catch even a slight glimpse of the 4 reality, borderline (and temporary) "celebrities". One male employee said the reason they don't come out to visit with fans is because people would be too busy trying to get autographs and pics rather than buying merchandise. * Their "merchandise" including the souvenirs are insanely overpriced. Customers may be more apt to buy this stuff from one of the guys they enjoy watching on tv rather than from friendly but unfamiliar faces who appear to snarl whenever fans ask "Where are they???" -- which is pretty often. * Two words: Fan Appreciation. Their shop is mediocre compared to other pawn shops in Vegas, the neighborhood is lousy, and their stuff is too overpriced. By some strange twist of fate, this place was selected for fame. And the fame exists only because of their fans. * Reality shows are created every day. Pawn Stars' 15 minutes of fame is nothing but a brief glimmer in the pan. It won't last forever. And when it's over, hopefully the courtesy and appreciation these guys showed their fans is remembered and reciprocated.
