United States — meeting locals vs agency girls

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

Thanks for the detailed write-up. Very helpful for planning my upcoming trip.
