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

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

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: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I was there in early March 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 varied.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

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

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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
