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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. 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: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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