Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

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