This is the Famous History Channel Pawn Shop ! Each day about 4,000 people visit the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop on the Las Vegas Strip. No, it s not a sign of the recession. Since Pawn Stars debuted on the History Channel in 2009 it has become one of the network s highest-rated shows, making the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop a popular Vegas attraction.
People flock to the store, sometimes forming alamo rental car sales a line at the door, for a chance to get an item appraised or to see one of the stars of Pawn Stars (Rick Harrison, his son Corey Big Hoss, his dad Richard Old Man and Austin Chumlee Russell).
We never thought we were going to get this huge, never. I was hoping to get a season or two and help business out a little bit. I didn t think I was ever going to be on television in 130 countries, said Rick Harrison during a break from filming. He opened the shop with his father in 1988
On our way to Fremont Street East, our taxi offered to stop and let us see the #1 show on the history channel. Line was too long to vet in and it is a bit too commercial..but fun to see in person..go there if on your way somewhere, like downtown Vegas From the strip.
