“Pawn Stars” in Vegas a Hit

Vegas Pawn Stars

The History Channel’s television show “Pawn Stars” has become a huge success since its debut in 2009 and one of the top attractions on the Strip. As many as 5,000 people a day have been known to start lining up early at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop to check out the site of the show and purchase items. It also became the most-watched show on cable TV, with over 8 million viewers every Monday night. The shop has also undergone a recent expansion.

From its humble beginnings as a family-owned business (Richard “The Old Man” Harrison, his son Rick, and grandson Corey, also known as “Big Hoss”) to its current status as a reality hit, Pawn Stars in Vegas has entered the minds of many, both in Vegas and out. It’s also made a star out of Big Hoss’ childhood friend, Austin “Chumlee” Russell. All of the guys on the show are constantly looking for fake items, deals, and unique items, so every show can turn out a different way depending on the circumstances. The Pawn Stars have purchased a working hot air balloon, a missile guidance system and Harry Houdini’s handcuffs, among other things, while turning down items such as Soviet shuttle launch keys and pirate treasure. The business was started in 1988 and thrives to this day amid the billion-dollar casinos and night clubs. The boys from Pawn Stars are even currently on a “road show” style traveling tour. Check out their web site for dates and more information on Pawn Stars. Want to get to Gold & Silver quickly? Caesars Palace is on the Strip, and we have a great deal for it.

Resort Pools in VegasIt’s the time of year where it’s blazing hot, and everyone is looking for different ways to cool down. In Vegas, why not try a resort pool for you and your family? We have listed some of the top pools and their locations here:

The Beach at Mandalay Bay

With an 11-acre beach, wave pool, and lazy river, what’s not to like? If that’s not enough, The Beach includes 100 daybeds, cabanas, and several whirlpools, and even has poolside gaming. We’ve got the connection for a 30% off deal on a hotel there as well.

Golden Nugget Pool

If your dream has always been a little danger in your life, the Golden Nugget pool will get the job done. There is a water slide that cuts through the center of the glass-enclosed aquarium at the middle of the pool complex, and all sorts of aquatic life can be seen. Did we mention the shark tank in the middle? The pool also has 15 cabanas and poolside gaming. It’s open til 2am to use the cabanas, Jacuzzis, and poolside bar.

Flamingo Pool

This pool has something for everyone. It is surrounded by a 15-acre wildlife resort that is home to (among other things) flamingos. Lagoons, cascading waterfalls, and interconnecting pools are highlights, and for the adults only, the topless Go Pool has several cabanas, TVs, and Wi-Fi.

Red Rock Resort Pool

A beach area, 19 cabanas, one main pool, and eight smaller wading pools, poolside gaming, and it can also act as an entertainment venue for up to 3,000 people. Enough said.

MGM Grand Pool

This is a paradise of pools. It includes the longest lazy river in Vegas (1,000 feet), 27 private cabanas, five pools, three whirlpools, a waterfall, and even a 53,000 square foot pool club called WET Republic. We have a deal on VIP treatment at this hotel too!
