Vegas Mythbusted: You can get to Pawn Stars by visiting the store
A group of people famous for discovering fakes are themselves the makers of a huge example.
Since the History Channel's reality show "Pawn Stars" began airing in 2009, as many as 5,000 visitors a day have visited the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop downtown at 713 Las Vegas Strip. Visited.
Many keep family heirlooms and dream of appearing on television as a customer, or at least catching a glimpse of stars Corey Harrison, Rick Harrison or Austin Lee "Chamlee" Russell. (Richard "Old Man" Harrison died in 2018.)
But for 99.999% of people, neither happens. That's because none of the show's actors work in pawn shops anymore.
Before we continue, a shoutout to our own "Vital Vegas" blogger Scott Roeben, who debunked this myth in 2013. But it persists because the hit reality show refuses to face reality honestly.

What Pawn Stars never mentions in the series is that filming took place on a secret set. A smaller replica of the store is hidden on the second floor of the same building and is inaccessible to the public.
The producers of the first season filmed the show in real stores. But as soon as the series started, the crowds of people signing autographs and taking selfies made it impossible to continue the series. Independent studios also allow real pawn shops to continue to make profits without interruption. However, as Robben points out in his story, gift shops bring in much more money than pawn shops.
How to get started with Pawn Stars
It is possible to be one of the very few people allowed into the Pawn Stars series.
In order to match the shots, the store also brought some extras. However, the extras were told never to look at the actors, they would just appear in the background. The date of the recording is also strictly confidential.
The coveted customer roles are chosen in advance and no one is selected from the real store to audition. always. Auditions are scheduled in advance and there is a cheating protocol that the lucky few must abide by if they make it through.
For example, the final price is set in advance.
All haggling seen in the show is a performance, with "customers" being coached by the producers on how to behave before each scene.
If you've ever wondered how Pawn Stars seems to know the historical significance and value of every item they appraise, that's because they don't appraise anything. You are informed about the item in advance.
So you didn’t realize showbiz was fake until this article?
Merry Chrismas!
Now is one of those rare times when Pawn Star holds client auditions. After touring for two seasons of Pawn Stars Makes America , producers announced last week that filming will resume in Las Vegas in 2024.
Fans are asked to send photos of their items to [email protected].
