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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
