Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found the outskirts to be better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls online?

I was there in February 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 a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.
