Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at clubs?

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

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

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.
