Pawn Stars Revisited

Over 2 years ago, I wrote a piece on "Pawn Stars", after a visit to Las Vegas and the World Famous Gold and Silver Pawn Shop. It was a disappointing visit, especially for my wife, who had hoped to meet Chumlee. Well, on our anniversary weekend, we traveled to Vegas again, and her dream came true!

It was fun to meet him, but that wasn't all - we got to meet Mark Hall Patton, known as "The Beard Of Knowledge"

We even had him video chat with my mother-in-law, who was equally star struck!

Then, we got to meet Corey and hang out with him!

Our visit was topped off by visiting with the man himself. No need for the introduction 

"I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years - you never know what is gonna come through that door."

My wife was so star-struck she couldn't even pose in the picture!  He did sign her pawn slip for a ring she sold. Would have loved to meet the Old Man. Maybe next time!
