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

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has improved recently.

How long did it take you to get the lay of the land?

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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

Excellent write-up. This is why I love this forum — real, actionable information.

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 download an offline map.

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

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.
