Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

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

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found the outskirts to be better.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

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