Gold & Silver Pawn Shop ('Pawn Stars' location)

Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on Las Vegas Boulevard became internationally known as the setting for the History Channel series Pawn Stars, which premiered in 2009. Since the show's popularity, tourists commonly line up to take photos and compare the on-screen bargains to real pawn transactions, prompting frequent local jokes about TV fame versus everyday pawn-shop business. The shop continues to operate as a functioning pawn shop while receiving visitors.
