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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.
