We went to the Pawn Stars shop with the kids three years ago. No one famous there. Not much interesting inventory. The shop was much smaller than it looks on TV. |

My father visited the pawn stars place. None of the guys on tv were there. he said most things you see on tv are usually flipped rather quickly and never hit the shelves.

Never saw the pawn Stars guys. My wife stopped by Kount's Kustoms when she was in Vegas on business and they were filming, and Danny was happy to come out and take a few pics with her.

The Fantom Works garage (car show on Velocity channel) is 5 minutes from my house. Every Friday they offer a tour and Dan the owner speaks to everyone and gives a tour of the shop. Pretty cool place.

Drove past the Pawn Stars place earlier this year. Pretty non-descript place in a scuzzy part of town. No lines of people waiting to get inside... Saw no need to go there and be more unimpressed...

We met Chumlee a couple years ago at the store, second time we visited. Got a few pics. He seemed considerably more intelligent than he acts on the show, so it was pretty clear he's faking it on the show.
Didn't meet anyone recognizable the first time I visited. Tip: apparently locals don't have to wait in the line to get in like the tourists do, so if you know a local you can bypass the line with them. I think they have to show ID with a address nearby. |

I've been to the Antique Archaeology (American Pickers) store in LeClaire. The place is really small. They must have warehouses and internet operations somewhere else.

Same experience with the American pickers store. Most of the stuff in the store is either not priced or marked not for sale, and most of the for sale items are TV show related souvenirs. The people from the show are never there. |

Went to the pawn stars shop a couple years ago. None of the stars were there as pretty much expected.
We just happened to be driving by right before they opened and there was no line ao we whipped in real quick. My cousin bought a silver oz. coin with one of their faces on it. Kind of wish I had too now. Thought about overpaying for some little old derringer they had in there but by that time the place was filled up and I could t get the salesmans attention for about ten minutes so said fuck it. Kind of wish I had bought it too now.

I've run into all of them at one point or another around town. They were never at the shop. Rick is a weapons grade shit bag. Chum Lee is not as dim witted as he makes himself out to be, but he's no Rhodes scholar either. You should see the money he spent on his "girlfriends" birthday about 2 years ago, it was a comical shit show. Corey is about the same. Ask the 2 of them how they bought a bag full of oregano in high school thinking it was weed. The old man is exactly how he is on the show. Spaced out and completely lacks a GAF. He's at least cordial to speak to, the rest are just shitty people who think they are better than you. It may not seem like it but Vegas is pretty small. You get to see a lot of famous people around. I've run into Mike Tyson at work and the grocery store, Flavor Flav at Wal Mart and the bowling alley, and Nick Cage at the gym and the Japanese restaurant. All 3 of these guys were very nice and would talk to you no problem. Nick Cage pretty much likes to be left alone but he's nice about it. I wouldn't piss on Bruce Willis if he was on fire.

Coworker went there in a vacation and got to be an extra in an episode. Saw corey and chum... And yes, everything is completely scripted and prearranged. All negotiations are fake. Director guy made the handwriting expert walk in the door 5-6 times to get it "right". It couldn't be more fake than it is. I still like the show though.

I meet a group of friends in Vegas every year. One guy is from Boston. As soon as we got in to the hotel he started excitedly telling us about a tour of "Porn Stars, ya know the tv show."
I never watched it, but hey, I'm game for anything involving seeing porn stars in Vegas. So, we go on this tour of Kounts Kustoms, some fish tank place, a toy store, a baseball card shop and, to my disappointment, a pawn shop. Apparently, in Boston pawn is pronounced porn. Don't be fooled like me. And, for the OP, each place had one of the little stars present. Most were just a means to get you into their gift shop and buy stuff. Maybe if I watched the shows I might have enjoyed the tours more. |

The Pawn Stars store is small and in a not-great part of town.
I don't think the guys are ever there unless the cameras are rolling. The store is at least 50% show merchandise. If you want a Chumlee shirt, you will have no problem finding what you want. |

Not just smaller than it looks on TV, but WAAAAAAAAAAAAY FUCKIN' TINY! You walk in, the place is maybe 40' deep, 15' wide and has a little L shape to it that gives it an extra 150 ft sq. Inventory sucked, only thing interesting was a Super Bowl ring, but even still. Nothing truly "neat". I think the "cool shit" comes in but it is staged and they never sell it to those guys. No stars, had to walk the who fuckin way in Nevada heat, took the bus back because it was a long as walk from the Tuscany Hotel (nice place btw). You can drink beer on the strip too, $1 beers as you walk the strip is cool. Puked in the hotel, overall a decent trip.

Wife and I went to Pawn Stars place last time we went to Vegas.
They were all in New York doing some talk show one the workers told us. The showroom was shockingly small. I guess they use the back to store everything and just bring a little out at a time to display. |
