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

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. 8/10 from me.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

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