Great report! Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found the outskirts to be better.

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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