Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $54/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
