Visited United States for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $143/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.
AMA.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.
