I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $147/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

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

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.
