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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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

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

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