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

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

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.
