Spent $114/day. Best part: variety.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO.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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.
