Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at clubs?

Did you feel safe carrying cash?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.
