I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

Great report! Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has improved recently.

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

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

I was there in early March 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 an agency I found online.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.
