What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO.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

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

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