Visited General Information for 5 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $111/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.

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

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

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

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at clubs?

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