I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.
