I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.
