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

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $146/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.
