I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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