Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.
