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

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

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

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

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

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

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