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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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