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

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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

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

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.
