How long did it take you to get the lay of the land?

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

I was there in January 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 good.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

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

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