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

Excellent write-up. This is why I love this forum — real, actionable information.

How long did it take you to feel comfortable?

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.
