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.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.
