I was in Vegas around Thanksgiving. There was a line to get in, but it moved quickly. The Old Man was sitting in a barber chair in the corner signing pictures. Rick was behind the counter. I agree that they seemed a bit tired of the fame and attention.

Honestly, there's not much to see once you're there. The Old Man was a lot friendlier in person than on the show. I asked him if all the foot traffic was a good thing or not. He said they'd worked a couple of years to convince a network this would be a good show and got turned down a lot. I think the way he put it was that most people who come through are just curious, but they sell a lot of T shirts now.
