This Is What It’s Really Like To Visit The Shop From Pawn Stars

Longtime fans of “Pawn Stars” should be delighted to know they are welcome to check out where the show is filmed. If you’re ever in Las Vegas and have some free time, you can go over to the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop and see where the magic happens. If you’re lucky, there won’t be a long line, and you can go inside relatively quickly. But if you’re really lucky, you might even catch owner Rick Harrison or one of the other well-known employees right after they shoot an episode.

Before you pack your bags and book a spontaneous trip to Las Vegas, you should know what to expect when visiting the pawnshop. Although it’s a great experience to visit a set of one of your favorite TV shows, not everything on the big screen is how it seems. Check out what it’s really like to visit the shop from “Pawn Stars.”

When visiting the shop in “Pawn Stars,” the first thing you will notice is that it is very structured in terms of how they let people in. Often, there is a line to get in, and someone at the front of the store keeps track of occupancy. As soon as a few people walk out, they will let a few more go inside. That’s because the shop in Pawn Stars is pretty narrow, according to a reviewer for Wander Wisdom.

That’s right — even though the TV show makes the shop look spacious, it really isn’t. That’s because it has been separated into two distinct sections. The first section is the showroom, which is the one everyone expects to see when they visit. This room is long and narrow but features items all around. Many of them are in glass cases, but some more oversized items are on the walls.

The other section is expected, but not seen in the series: a gift shop. This is a relatively new addition to the shop, which was constructed following the start of production in 2009. It only made sense to include that, and it brought in more money for Rick.
