Quoted from Daditude:None of the people you would know from the show were there. I asked around, and apparently they very rarely come in. Makes sense, I suppose.
It has many more high end items than any pawn shop I've ever been in. Rare art, ancient coins, etc. Mostly collectibles, and not any lawn mowers or tools, lol.
They do also sell a lot of the show's memorilbilia, like t-shirts, coins with the old man's face, etc.
I almost bought a Salvador Dali...but I don't know how I would have taken it on the plane.
I would recommend it just for the experience... especially if you have watched the show much.
I've been a few times, used to go to Vegas yearly until my daughter was born. When I used to go, we met and talked with Rick, the old man, and Chum. Rick and Chum signed stuff for us and were pretty down to earth. I went when it was the small shop, then the bigger one. Sat outside once listening to a guy with a cannon rehearsing his lines, very scripted show. Cool experience though. We were inside during one filming, big security dude was threatening everyone to shut up and act casual or he'd throw us the F out. lol
