Casino Palais Savarin

General
WARNING: Although I'm writing this 6/2007, this is based on a trip I made 7/2005 and so things could be outdated or incorrect.

Casino Palais Savarin, established in 1991, is centrally located within Prague’s famous Na Prikope shopping district. The casino, as well as the poker room, is on second floor of an amazing building called the Palais Sylva Taroucca. More commonly known as "Palais Savarin", the Baroque/Rococo structure dates back to 1745.

The poker room is only a few tables next to a bar but the room is beautiful. The players there are composed of various expats and semi-locals. There isn't generally a packed crowd while I was there so 1 or 2 tables of players at best. The atmosphere was friendly and the nice staff made it very easy to stay and enjoy myself.

The first floor had a strip bar/club (not apart of the Casino) and the poker room itself had photos of nude ladies on the walls so it wasn't the best place to be bringing your girlfriend/wife (not to mention the insanely hot bartender).

Room Amenities
The Pit Boss/Dealer, who speaks English will also deal at times. He seems fairly knowledgeable. The waitresses will also bring you free cocktails and small packs of cigarettes. The waitresses/bartenders were knock outs when I was there. Granted there were only 2 of them, but particularly one was hotter than any waitress I had seen in any other casino including the Borgata.

Game Structure
The games are played in Czech koruna (1 US Dollar = 21.11 Czech Koruna as of 6/4/2007) so their 100/200 games is a little less than a $5/$10. The games are raked at 10 Kč per player per hand, which if the game is full would be 90-100 Kč (about $4.5) per hand.
