Visited United States for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $144/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid destination.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

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: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.
