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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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