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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

I was there in early March 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 the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.
