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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.
