Nice report. I'm heading there next month and this is exactly the intel I needed.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

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 excellent.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

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

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.
