Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls through referrals?

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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: International mix. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

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