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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

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