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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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

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

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

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