I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.
