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

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: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

How long did it take you to learn the routine?

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls at clubs?

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. 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 download an offline map.

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
