| - Whoohooo! we came here on a shorter line!
I'm glad we came here because I'm a fan of the show, but It was kinda of puzzling to me that not much of the cool items that you see on TV was displayed. I had to take a picture of those samurai swords on their display because in one of their episodes some guy wanted to get a fortune for his sword but Corey told him that they have already many of them, so lowered the offer. At the end the owner of the samurai sword ended up getting a decent lump sum anyway.
I saw a historic San Francisco Giants Jersey, a Scarface Poster near the front entrance, a boxing heavyweight championship belt, these were cool stuff that interest me but wow they do get a lot rolex watches here!
In person this shop seems smaller. Not much excitement in this Pawn Shop that is currently displayed inside, especially when you see all those reeling and dealings that happen on TV. Therefore I gave this place an A-OK rating, but hey to me the show gets a 5 stars rating because of those history lessons, the negotiations and the Old Man, Rick, Corey and Chumlee are just plain hilarious!
I recommend coming here if your looking to add some detail to your Vegas trip but it's worth it when you can come here very early in the day, so that you can avoid waiting longer to get in.
Tourist trap for me: Yup! I bought me a Pawn Star Magnet of the crew and another magnet of who else? The Man, The Myth...Chumlee.
