Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

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

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

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