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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

I was there in January 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 small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.
