| - At first glance, King Tut looks terrible, run down and uninteresting. However, I try not to judge the book by its cover...and being raised in Philadelphia kinda inspired my love for dives...
This was definitely a dive bar, but dive with attitude. No food is definitely a bummer (I think a couple of bar food options would have sufficed), but then again, adds to the atmoshere.
The interior is run down, but reasonably clean. Bartenders are not surly, but not overly talkative either. Drinks are cheap for Las Vegas standards but selection is not all that. For imports, Amstel is the best it got pretty much as far as beers go. Bloody Mary was yummy.
Clientele consists of many bikers and old school alterna crew (punksters, mahawks, some chains, etc.). They do have bands play on the weekend and these are usually good to drink to--full of soul and rock and roll, not too heavy and not too light--just the right music to keep the mood going and drinks flowing...
Shuffleboard and Juke Box are definitely a plus. These are also of the "older, divey-bar kind" and not the shiny brand new kind. I like it this way though as it keeps the atmosphere going.
Overall, I'm surprised how much I enjoyed my night at King Tut's. I'll come here again to drink my night away and play some shuffleboard and juke box!!!
