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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were higher.

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: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at bars?

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
