| AZDuffman Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 147 Posts: 2647 | Could any of you Vegas locals tell me where the shop on the TV show "Pawn Stars" is located in relation to the strip/Freemont Street? I enjoy the show but it is driving me crazy as to where the joint is located. Also when I visit Vegas again I hope to finance my trip by selling Chumlee a vintage deed I found to this bridge in NY.

Las Vegas Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89101 As for how to get there from anywhere - no idea, but a quick multimap search could probably solve that. [This space is intentionally left blank] |

From the scenery (and the address provided by the previous poster), it looks like it is half-way between Stratosphere and downtown. That makes it no more than a few minutes drive from Fremont Street. |

| kristim55 Member since: Nov 12, 2009 Threads: 1 Posts: 31 | Okay, I took a look at the map, and it is between Stratosphere and Fremont on the boulevard, but it is much closer to Fremont than to Stratosphere. Walking distance from Fremont, but it's not the best part of town. |

OK, that's kind of what I was guessing. Only been to Vegas a few times but I figured. It's a pretty cool show. Pushes the limit of "History Channel" though. "The Roman Empire wasn't planned, but neither did it 'just happen.'" |

I've made the walk from the strip to freemont before, and you really do get a breathtaking view of the city's homeless. So I says to him, I said "Get your own monkey!" |

| jaspa Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 5 Posts: 17 | Not a local but we checked it out 2 weeks ago on our trip. If you are driving north on LV Blvd towards Downtown, it is on the right hand side shortly after you pass Charleston. It's small, and VERY crowded thanks to its new found fame. I haven't seen the show but my buddy has and really wanted to visit, so we went. We did see the owner and the "old man" when we visited, though! |

| inap Member since: Dec 12, 2009 Threads: 12 Posts: 146 | just a note, be sure to park in the pawn shops parking which is the driveway just before the store. i've been there a couple times and because i wasn't sure where the store was the first time, i passed it so i parked in the parking lot right after it, not knowing which parking lot belonged to the store. you can get a ticket if you park there. luckily we were leaving just as we saw another car getting a ticket. but its cool to see some of the unique items in the store like the super bowl ring. |
