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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

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

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

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

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

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