Take 3! PAWN SHOP LIVE! Debuts 7/14 At The Riviera Hotel & Casino

Rick

Take 3! PAWN SHOP LIVE! is set to debut a completely reworked version of the show on Mon., July 14 in the Starlite Theatre at the Riviera Hotel & Casino. Introducing PAWN SHOP LIVE! - The Lost Episode, a gritty new comedy based on HISTORY’s popular series “Pawn Stars” written by actor/comedian Howie Gold. PAWN SHOP LIVE! – The Lost Episode follows a day in the life of Rick, Corey, Chumlee and the Old Man as they encounter insane customers, street people and sleazy agents while trying to shoot their pilot episode. With original video clips featuring the actual “Pawn Stars” themselves, the show is a multimedia event for both fans and newcomers alike.

The “Pawn Stars” have always known that laughing at themselves is what got them to reality show stardom and through life in general. The main reason Rick Harrison wanted to become an investor, and now executive producer, is that if anyone was going to make money off of making fun of the “Pawn Stars,” he wanted in on it.

“In the reality show business, you could say one out of every 500 sizzle reels goes to pilot. For every 50 pilots, one goes to episode and only 20% of those episodes make it past season one,” said Rick Harrison. “We figured with those odds, we might as well give this show another shot with a complete overhaul. Since it’s no longer a parody, it’s more authentic to our personalities now - and funnier too!”

While this new version of Pawn Shop Live! has gone through an entire makeover (or restoration as they say in pawn terms), the most notable change is the addition of a professional comedy writer coming in (just as Rick has experts do on the show to evaluate the worth of something) adding authenticity and jokes worthy of a Las Vegas production, making this ‘third time’s a charm’ rendition 100% new and improved.

PAWN SHOP LIVE! - The Lost Episode performs in the Starlite Theatre inside the Riviera Hotel & Casino Saturday through Thursday (dark Friday) at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $28.36 plus tax and applicable fee for General Admission; $45.64 plus tax and applicable fee for Preferred; $62.00 plus tax and applicable fee for VIP. Must be 18 years or older with valid ID.

ABOUT PAWN SHOP LIVE! – The Lost Episode

PAWN SHOP LIVE! - The Lost Episode is a gritty comedic nod to the story behind HISTORY’s reality smash hit “Pawn Stars.” Written by Howie Gold and directed by Troy Heard, PAWN SHOP LIVE! is fully endorsed by the “Pawn Stars.” The show follows a day in the lives of Rick Harrison, Corey Harrison, Richard “The Old Man” Harrison and Austin “Chumlee” Russell and the daily musings inside the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop.

Hot Havana Nights Event Coming To The Mob Museum Downtown Las Vegas!

Before Las Vegas, there was Havana. This summer, an unmistakably tropical vibe will come to downtown Las Vegas when The Mob Museum, The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, hosts “Hot Havana Nights.” On Thursday, August 7, from 6 to 10 p.m., guests will celebrate everything vibrant about Cuban culture, including its delectable cuisine, the sounds of Latin Jazz by Space to Pace Cuban Latin Trio and dances such as the Tango and Conga. Exhilarating casino games including blackjack, roulette, craps and baccarat will be available, as will tropical cocktails and a cigar bar from The Spirit of Cuba. Hot Havana Nights is presented in collaboration with the Cuban Heritage Foundation and the Las Vegas Latin Chamber of Commerce.

The evening is inspired by the decadent Havana resorts of the first half of the twentieth century, which attracted everyone from celebrities and scions of industry to middle-class vacationers. Visitors were drawn to Havana by its permissive, sun-soaked, indulgent atmosphere—comparable to the one eventually associated with Las Vegas. By the 1940s, all Havana’s major resorts and casinos were run by U.S. Mob families from Chicago and New York, representing another dynamic replicated a few years later in Las Vegas.

A variety of items from Cuba’s heyday as America’s playground are on exhibit at The Mob Museum.  Objects on display include photographs, a 1958 issue of Life magazine containing an exposé on the “U.S. Gambling Mob in Cuba,”  artifacts from infamous Havana hotels, casinos and cabarets such as the Nacional, Tropicana, Sans Souci, Casino de Capri and Hotel Habana Riviera.

Tickets for the event are $40. To make reservations, please call (702) 229-2734 or visit webformsrig01bo3.blackbaudhosting.com/46648/tickets?tab=2&txobjid=eeea587c-9b1d-447c-be81-a19286c120b6.
