I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

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

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.
