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.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

This is outdated info IMO.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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $55/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $118/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
