Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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

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

How long did it take you to find the good spots?

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

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

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.
