For many years the answer was "good luck." The Gold and Silver Pawn Shop is open and gets lots of visitors, in fact sometimes during the day the line can stretch around the corner to get in. But for a long time the Pawn Star guys were just never there.
The Rick Harrison spearheaded the opening of Pawn Plaza next door to the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop. Included in the business mix is Rick's Rolling Smoke BBQ. So Rick now has a quasi regular gig when he works at the bar on Friday and Saturday nights at the BBQ. The notices say Rick is "bartending." If by bartending you mean drinking beer, distributing hand shakes and hugs and posing for pictures, AKA schmoozing, then okay, he is bartending.
But nothing reliable at the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, until now.
After a wildly popular experiment the Pawn Star folks are scheduling regular meet and greet times with members of the show.
Entry is free, but a donation to one of the store's charities of choice is encouraged and the first five people each session to contribute $100 or more get treated to a private lunch with Chumlee, plus one guest, the following day. I am not sure where, but I expect Rick's Rolling Smoke is a likely candidate.
Schedule
Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Main Players (Rick, Old Man, Hoss, Chumlee and other members of the show)
Saturdays 11 a.m. to noon, security guard Antwaun
Saturdays 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. expert Mark Hall Patton
Sundays 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. expert Mark Hall Patton
I assume that not all of the Pawn Star guys will be there every Thursday. They probably will have a pretty full house the first few weeks but after that they will probably start rotating the duty.
But if you are visiting Las Vegas, and like to see the guys who basically started the Las Vegas reality TV show industry, now you have some reliable times to meet.
