I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

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

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has improved recently.
