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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

I was there in February 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: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
