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

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

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 above average.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

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