I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.
