Scene: Packed — tons of options.
Prices: about average.
Highlights: Met an amazing girl on day 3.
Overall: 9/10.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

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

With respect, my experience was more mixed. Maybe timing matters.
