Spent $73/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 9/10. Exceeded expectations.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

This is outdated info IMO.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