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

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

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

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