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

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were higher.

I was there in January and can add some detail:

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

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.

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

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

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

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

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