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. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.
