Just got back from 1 week in Switzerland. Here's my detailed report.
Spent most of my time in the undefined area. Prices were reasonable. The scene has changed a bit compared to my last visit.
Accommodation: Found a good hotel for $60/night within walking distance of the action. Clean, AC, wifi — all you need.
The girls were mostly attractive. Not as many as I expected.
Food was decent. Ate like a king for under $10/day.
Overall: Would definitely return.
Happy to answer any questions.

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

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