Hit the road with the Pawn Stars to revisit the best items ever seen outside of the shop: Rick's international trip to London where he finds some rare American maps, a vintage piano used by the Rat Pack found within the home of eccentric collector Lonnie Hammergen, an exclusive tour of an L-39 Soviet Albatros Fighter Jet, and an ancient Samurai helmet that causes Rick to detour while traveling to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
Pawn Stars is filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it chronicles the daily activities at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, a 24-hour family business operated by patriarch Richard Harrison (or "The Old Man"), his son Rick Harrison (who opened the shop with his father in 1988), Rick's son Corey (who has worked there since childhood), and Corey's childhood friend, Austin "Chumlee" Russell.
The series depicts the staff's interactions with customers, who bring in a variety of artifacts to sell or pawn and who are shown haggling over the price and discussing its historical background, with narration provided by the Harrisons and occasionally Chumlee. The series also follows the interpersonal conflicts among the cast.
Numerous local experts in a variety of areas also regularly appear to appraise the items being sold or pawned.
