Back to memory lane with random Vegas pics

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

for anyone that has not been to Vegas and on a budget, one place I would recommend doing the VIP Pawn Stars tour. It's cheap and last about 5hrs, taking trips to different places that are or were on T.V.. This was something the wife wanted to do and not as much as me, which is why I do not have many pictures. BUT we did get to meet one guy some of you may know, anyone know this guy? Yes, the bald head one in the middle, not me LOL.

The truck that sits in front of Pawn Stars.

Once we got inside, it was way packed. Honestly a bunch of overpriced things. Fun fact we learned from the guy on the bus that was driving us to each place. The show is filmed in a different location than where the actual store is. Again, another recommendation is I wouldn't suggest walking there at night time. Just because it's on tv doesn't mean it's not in the ghetto, because it is.

I don't watch much tv but my wife loved this show and it was part of the tour. ![]

Not really sure who this guy was but must have been important since we took a picture with him LOL.

Another place we went and she watched the show, but I never did.

Then the final stop. The tv show tanked, again I never even watched a episode. not even sure if any of these are still on tv except Pawn Stars? ![]

Sheesh, I take bad pictures. The last one wasn't part of the tour but since we are doing a Vegas blog, I must say something bout The Heart Attack grill. You better hope like hell you are hungry, because if you do not eat all your food- guess what happens? You get the paddle by one of the " nurses" I wished I had a picture for this but just take my word for it. She took 3 strikes on my ass, and I kid you not I haven't been struck that hard with a paddle since i was in elementary school, big thick paddle at that. 1 on the left cheek, 1 on the right, and final one in the middle. Customers watched as I tried to cover up the pain, when this woman just knocked the shit out of my behind.

Thanks for coming on this memory to Vegas. Hope you enjoyed

cool shots, I need to check out that pawn shop next time I get out there !

You should post that video of you getting paddled..

@mamabear72 do you have the video?

I have it somewhere! I’ll have to look for it , that was a fun trip!

It's been a few years since I went. One of the things I liked the best was that it was (semi) close the the Grand Canyon. I've always liked nature, so when I visited, I also went the GC.

Oh, and I liked the water show at the Bellagio.

Haven’t been to the gc. Yea the water show is nice at the Bellagio.

That looked like a lot of fun. That tour looked really interesting. The Pawn Star show is great

It was fun. Wished I would waited and could have put up more pics that my wife has of the trip. The guy in the first pic is Johnny the toy expert on pawn stars.

Man I used to watch Rick's restoration on the history channel so much. It's just interesting how he bought all that old stuff to life. And when me and my wife went to Vegas back in October we only passed by the heart attack grill. I think you get your meal free if you're over a certain weight right?
