Visited United States for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.

Spent $121/day. Best part: GFE quality.

Overall: 8.5/10. Would return.

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

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Good info. I'd add that the morning is the best time to go.
