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

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/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: Go early in the evening for first pick.

How long did it take you to get the lay of the land?
