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: Mostly locals. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.

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

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

How long did it take you to get the lay of the land?

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Nice report. I'm heading there next month and this is exactly the intel I needed.
