Pawn Stars, Shelby's, Big Bucks and more !

(Just noticed that date shows Saturday but this is for Friday, June 3rd.  Our laptop is still on Georgia time !)

PAWN STARS !

We could not pass up on the opportunity to see Gold and Silver Pawn from the show PAWN STARS on the History Channel.  We got in and all of our jaws dropped at how expensive everything was and they had a slew of stuff, from pawned to souvenir...all over priced.  I just had to take a picture of the Super Bowl Rings...wait till you see the prices ! 




Super Bowl Rings....the 4 in the middle are $100,000.00 each...the outer circle of rings are $10,000.00 each, if you pay cash !

SHELBY MUSEUM 

Joe and Henry went out to the Shelby Museum and enjoyed looking at cars and the Las Vegas Racetrack where NASCAR is run.  Here are a few pictures that they took....





THE BIG BUCKS !

We went back to the old Vegas area to have lunch at the 4 Queens so we could take advantage of a 2-for-1 special on 1/2 rack of rib dinners....man was that good ! We have really eaten well in Vegas, no cooking at this stop, that's for sure !  Anyway, while we were there we took advantage of Binion's offer of a free keepsake photo taken with a little cash ! Check us out !

That's a Million Dollars and yes, its real !

CHOCOLATE FACTORY !

We stopped for a quick tour of the  Ethel M. Chocolate Factory where M&M's and Mars bars are produced, as well as truffles and other higher end brands.  We got to sample some and it was yummy but the price of the good stuff was well past our budget...since we didn't get to keep that million !  Anyway, we enjoyed the tour and headed to Wal-Mart to buy Joe a bag of Hershey's bars !




Tomorrow we head northeast into Utah, to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks...we are all very excited to see them !  xxoo TML
