Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

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

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