Sadly it was Rick's son Adam of a drugs overdose, the old man died in 2018 and chumlee has his own businness now.

Still worth a visit though Dave Foti whom i am having lunch with today at the Dragons did actually meet Rick on a holiday and has the selfie to prove it:

The shop is definitely worth a visit, some interesting stuff. When I went there was a queue, 30 mins or so as it's a lot busier in there than it was on the show. They have an online shop and Ebay sites as well - Gold and Silver Pawn Shop.

30 years ago when I first went Vegas was a really interesting and colourful place but it has become increasingly sanitised over the years in my view. We will only be there for a day to take in the rugby as there are far more interesting places in the region.

My advice to anyone going is hire a car through Skyscanner and hit the road for a few days at least.

Slowly ramping up now.  All naughty boys accepted to play and now Russell Crowe commentary on the NRL Las Vegas ad.

That definitely gets the juices flowing.

Engaging, yet informative. Great stuff.
