Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

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

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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