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: 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.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
