Went to the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. It wasn't a filming day, so none of the stars were there. Took the quick tour of the shop. The coolest thing in there was a Willie Mays 1961 uniform on sale for $80k.

So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

That is pretty awesome!!
I was there in November with a friend who had never been to Vegas. Pretty underwhelming - about 30% of the store is dedicated to selling Pawn Stars crap (mugs, t-shirts, bumper stickers).
The really intriguing part was the section where you pawn stuff - 13% interest per month. After 3 months, the pawned item is forfeited.
The coolest thing we saw was an old 1920s motorcycle.
Then we headed to El Cortez.
I guess I've always been the kid that looks for the pony hidden in the pile of manure.

I have never been to a pawn shop before.

A pawn shop in Vegas, yes even this pawn shop seems as tacky as Vegas can get....but then again they will more than likely do something soon to raise the bar.

Would you fear them?
Every aircraft, every camera, is a wish that wasn't granted.
What was that for?
Try to be bad.
As a true blue Dodger fan, even I think this is way cool.
Here's an article about the transaction at the pawn shop:

Mostly.
They're good places to buy guns and tools. Before the digital age, I bought a camera once at a pawn shop.
But they're mostly filled with junk someone else didn't want.
