I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/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.

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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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