I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

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

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the ATM situation?
