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

This is outdated info IMO.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

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

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $99/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
