Visited Canada for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $61/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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