How do I get to the Gold and Silver Pawn shop?

Back in the heady days of 2014, this writer was visiting Vegas and decided to make a pilgrimage to the setting of one of my favorite shows. After walking for around ten minutes under a scorching sun, I realized there’s a reason everybody drives in Vegas.

Because of its arid desert climate and the year-round searing sun, you can’t really walk to the Gold and Silver Pawn shop from the Strip, or even nearby Downtown. So, that means the best way to get to the world-famous Gold and Silver Pawn Shop is to drive yourself, hire a taxi, or grab an Uber, which means you’ll be able to arrive at the surprisingly compact store in comfort.

If you’re looking to save cash, there are also air-conditioned buses that run from the Strip towards Downtown, which go right past the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop. The buses are run by the RTC (The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada), and the one that most visitors will use to get to the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop is called “the Deuce,” which travels from the Strip to Downtown and back.

As per the RTC website, a 2-hour bus pass is $6, a 24-hour one is $8, and a three-day pass is $20. An Uber can cost anywhere between $18 to $30 for a one-way trip.
