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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

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

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.
