I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?
