When it comes to a Las Vegas luxury pawn and jewelry store, John’s Loan & Jewelry Co shines above the rest. Their playful yet professional atmosphere paired with an impressive range of items makes this a must-see stop for both tourists and locals.

President Michael Mack is a fourth-generation pawnbroker who’s running a business that bucks preconceived notions about pawn shops. Mack believes that “cater to customers” is a core value for any successful business, and he’s built his company with that in mind. In fact, he has an entire team dedicated to making sure customers are taken care of. More info maxpawn.com

Mack’s strategy seems to be working, as 90% of people who pawn something at Max Pawn Luxury come back and retrieve it—compared to the national average of 60% to 70%. He says the key to his success is authenticity verification. Besides hiring trained appraisers, the business also uses AI-based software that can minutely check the fabric of a handbag or verify diamonds within minutes.

Max Pawn Luxury is known for its focus on high-end merchandise, particularly authenticated designer handbags. The store also sells watches, jewelry, and newer electronics, and all of its products are verified as genuine. Mack believes that these different elements of the business create key competitive advantages over other pawn shops.
