Visited West Coast for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $78/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 8/10. Solid destination.
AMA.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $148/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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