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

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 good.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

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