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

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

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

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

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