I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/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: Late night you get the best deals.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

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

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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

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