I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.
