Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $50/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.
