I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.
