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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

100% agree. The atmosphere there is hard to beat.

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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.
