Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

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

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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