Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
