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

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

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at clubs?

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

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

I was there in February 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: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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

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