The uber driver was in his late 60s and not yet well versed with the uber app. As soon as I got on his car, he ended the trip. We didn’t even move and yet I was charged $6.21 for this “trip”.
He promised me that it had happened before and that he was able to request Uber to reverse the charges. I believed him. I requested for a car again and of course, he got the beep again.
I asked him to bring me to the Pawn Star’s pawnshop in Las Vegas Blvd. How did I know about this place? I saw them on tv. I was just curious.
Thousands of tourists flock daily to this store made world famous by their tv show Pawn Stars.
If you want to come here, you have to lower your expectations. The place is small and only offers a limited selection of merchandise such as watches, jewelries, sports memorabilia, art works. They’re not cheap either.

They’ve become so successful they are able to build a two story commercial building called Pawn Plaza beside their pawn shop.
There’s a bar, restaurant, clothing store, and Rita’s ice custard store.
I requested for a free taste. It was too sweet so I backed out.
