I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.
