text: First off the people who are freaking out about how this was not what they expected need to take a huge chill pill What were you expecting Chocolate fountains and hugs from the old man upon enteringnnMy husband and I were out in Vegas a couple of months ago on business and decided to check out Gold Silver with some spare time that we had The shop was easy to find and parking was no problem We were there at about am on a Friday The first thing we noticed was an old Model T car from one of the episodes that had aired recently parked in the lot CoolnnThere was a line to get in but it moved quickly and we spent about minutes waiting to get in Once inside we noticed that the shop appeared a LOT smaller in person than on tv yay camera angles and that there was a significant area dedicated to selling bobble heads tshirts etc that we never see on the shownnWe browsed the cabinets and were pleased to recognize several items from the show and Ricks collection on display The highlight for my husband was a ring gun that he recognized from one of the episodes I purchased some souvenirs along with a nice quality sterling silver and opal necklace in the shape of a turtle for about a very fair price Those of you complaining that the items are too expensive they are not for you You can hit up any one of the many normal pawn shops scattered through the stripnnFinally while I was checking out I asked the cashier is there any chance of seeing the old man today He politely informed me that the old man comes out once a week to sign autographs and today was not the day No worries we swung by spur of the moment with no advanced planning Overall a great way to kill a Friday morning The next time I am in Vegas I will make a point to plan in advance so I can see the Old Man
