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

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

Excellent write-up. This is why I love this forum — real, actionable information.

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: International mix. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

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 last month:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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