Gold & Silver Pawn Shop and the Pawn Stars television series

The Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in downtown Las Vegas is the business featured on the History Channel reality series Pawn Stars, which premiered in 2009. The shop, run by the Harrison family, displays many items brought in by customers and has become a tourist destination where visitors often wait to see cast members. The store remains an active pawn shop and museum-like storefront tied to the city's contemporary pop-culture tourism.
