Short Time: Budget $30-50, Mid $50-80, Premium $80-150+
Long Time: 2-3x short time rate

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

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

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was good.

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

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

How long did it take you to get the lay of the land?

Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

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

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.
