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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls online?

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.
