If your only goal is to get laid, I understand your feelings. An AMP will do that most efficiently. What an SC offers is a club atmosphere, music, drinks and eye candy. You can see lots of girls, talk to them, get a feeling for their personality, and either have some fun, or not. Point is, you can feel them out before you decide. If AMP’s And Studios ran like the Nevada brothels where you could go in, grab a drink and meet the ladies before you decide, that would give an SC a run for it’s money, but they are an in and out, high turnover businesses. Good for scratching an itch, but not for a relaxing night out. I will agree, I find the costs of that level of play at an SC to be prohibitive and would never do it, but some may find the exciting atmosphere worth the extra expense. Another benefit is deniability. Strip clubs are legal. If you get seen walking out of one you you can easily say you just grabbed a few drinks and got a dance or two. You get caught exiting an AMP, weaving a believable excuse becomes a lot trickier. You could tell them you mistook it for a Korean restaurant, but that won’t explain why you were in there for an hour.
