I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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

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

Good info. I'd add that the morning is the best time to go.

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

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