This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
