Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.
