I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

Good info. I'd add that the afternoon is the best time to go.
