Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.

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

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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.
