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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls through referrals?
