Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $146/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.
