With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $53/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
