Pawn shops are a great place to find antiques, collectibles and unique items at bargain prices. They also offer a quick solution for people who need cash to cover unexpected expenses. These Vegas pawn shops have the equipment and experience to provide fair valuations and loans for many different items. Some of the most popular pawn shop items include jewelry, guns and musical instruments. Many of these items hold their value and are easy to sell or re-pawn later. Others, such as coins and antiques may need expert appraisal to determine their worth.

Your Guide to Vegas Pawn Shops: Top Picks

Most people who visit a pawn shop are looking for a specific item, but some have no idea what their treasure is worth. This allows the pawnbrokers to lowball the seller and take advantage of them. For example, if a seller says that their gun is worth $1,000 to $5,000 the pawnbroker will likely lowball them and make a lower offer.

The Gold and Silver pawn shop is the setting of the History Channel’s reality show Pawn Stars. It is one of the most visited pawnshops in Las Vegas and the line to get inside can be long and intimidating. It is possible to see Rick Harrison and Chumlee during your visit, though they only work at the shop for about a half hour a day and spend the rest of their time filming. You can also visit Rick Harrison’s Pawn Plaza, a 2 story retail center right next door that has restaurants and attractions.
