Good info. I'd add that the afternoon is the best time to go.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.
