I was in Las Vegas Last week (12-25 and 12-31) and stopped into the Gold & Silver Pawn shop. Here are some observations.Please note the weather was awful this week, cold and windy with some rain.
#1 Drove to the store on Sunday at 10 AM, cold and windy. The line was down the street!Drove right by
#2 Drove to the store Monday at 3PM, cold, cold , cold. The line was down the street. I drove right by
#3 Drove to the store at noon and again at 5PM, cold, cold, cold (I am from new england by the way), and the line was down the street, and around the corner into the parking lot (200 people?)
#4 This went on all week. I tried differant hours on differant days, but nothing doing. I thought about yelling Fire but thats not cool these days!
#5 On thursday (my last chance) we drove there and the line was the smallest, but it was also the worst weather!Someone spilled a soda on the street outside the store and it was frozen solid on the street! We sucked it up and waited the 20+ minutes to get in. On the way out a family was there and the young daughter asked if any of the characters on the show where in there. They were not and a few family's left.
#5 This is the 3rd time I have been to the store and every time I go in the store has expanded a little. It is now about the size that it looks like on TV. The true size in the past was about the size of a closet!it just looked bigger on TV.
#6 a lot of space in the store sells soveniers of the guys. I did see the cannon that they shot bowling balls out of on the show, The parade horse saddle, and a few of the rebuilt soda machines, great job rebuilding them!, but I couldnt poney up the $7,000 they were looking for. I did buy an "old man" bobble head for $14
I wishI could be more help giving you a good day or even a good time of day to try and get in, but this is what I had to go thru. I wish you luck (dress warm!)
