Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.
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:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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