With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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