Pawn Stars

Dan and I finally got to go on our honeymoon last week. It only took us 6 months!!! We went on a Mexican Rivera Carnival Cruise. We left out of Long Beach, CA and spent two days in Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta. It was such a blast and honestly, the BEST value for your money for a vacation.
We started our drive down to Long Beach last saturday and as we were driving, we decided to break up our drive by spending the night in vegas. I hoped onto my phone and loaded up my "Priceline Negotiater" App.
We found a room for $35 at the Downtowner Motel. That's right, the Downtowner Motel. It was ghetto hahahah. PLEASE click on that link and look at the pictures of the beautiful rooms. Here was ours:

I really wish I took a picture of the outside. The place looked like such a dump. Dan and I still laugh about how crazy we were to stay there. The room really wasn't that bad, and we felt safe because of the stairwell was bared and locked and the 24/7 security guard was always on call hah.
We wandered up and down the strip, watched the fountains at the Bellagio, melted in the 100 degree weather, and lived vicariously through watching the blackjack players.
Vegas was fun but the best part was when we got to go down to Gold and Silver Pawn, the location of the hit TV show Pawn Stars.
My dad has great taste in television shows. He's been the one to introduce me to some of my favorite shows: Storage Wars, Deadliest Catch, American Pickers and of course, Pawn Stars.

We got there around 10 and the line was already out the door. We were hoping to see the cast but they told us that they only come in when they hear about something really really good.

The shop was smaller than it looks on tv and most of it was souvenirs, but they did have so really cool (and expensive) things in the shop.

Sunday morning we got up early and continued on our journey to Long Beach.
