Rick Harrison of TV’s “Pawn Stars” is expanding his brand of visitor attractions beyond the family-run shop in downtown Las Vegas.

Pawn Plaza, Harrison’s new strip mall, recently opened along Las Vegas Boulevard just south of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. The store sometimes draws thousands of visitors a day thanks to the popularity of the History Channel TV show filmed there.

Poutine — a uniquely Canadian dish of French fries slathered with various toppings — is now available at the Sin City outpost of Toronto-based Smoke’s Poutinerie.

The restaurant offers a 20% discount on Sundays and Mondays to guests who flash either a local gym membership card or, as a statement says, “those raging biceps.” If that requires further explanation, call (702) 823-4555.
