Just for discussions, what I have found after having been to both, is they are very different experiences. Some guys prefer one over the other. And that's fine. There are some things I like about the strip club experience.
I typically meet several male friends there so we socialize, have some drinks, eat, and flirt with a bunch of pretty girls. So there's a definite socialization factor with a strip club experience you cannot get at a nap. It's not for everybody but that is what me and my friends enjoy. When it comes to the girls themselves, I get to see a lot of them that I might not otherwise meet. So it's kind of a see what you're getting before you buy it type of thing. I have always found both providers and dancers respond better once you become a regular. And I assume it's the same at the amps. But, I can become a regular at a strip club for a cheaper and becoming a regular add an amp or with a provider. At least most providers. I enjoy, and have a better experience with, women I get to know a bit before we do anything. So in a strip club I have a chance to talk to and get to know the dancers better before I decide which ones I want to spend my money on.
And it doesn't have to be especially expensive. By knowing when to go and who to see, I can have a very enjoyable afternoon or evening at a club for about the same cost as seeing a provider for an hour. If I go on a drink special day for example I and the girls can have plenty to drink without breaking the bank. Knowing when the good food specials are helps with the eating part if that's what you want to do. And because the girls know me, I typically get a better level of service then some Schmo walking in off the street. The management knows me because I'm there as a regular. So, when I do go to get dancers from a girl they tend to leave me alone. Which means we can do more then if they're on top of us all the time.
So for $200 or less, I can meet my friends, have some drinks, eat some food, and get what I want from a dancer. And I don't mean a quick blowjob or some reverse cowgirl while we were scanning the room for a manager. I mean MPFS. So for me to spend $200 for three or four hours of an enjoyable afternoon relaxing and having fun, it's hard for me not to see that as a great value. And sometimes I spend far less than 200. Heck, I know this one dancer that if I plan things out with her in advance, she will bring in a civilian friend of hers and I get doubles full service back in the VIP room for two hundred bucks total. And they're both very attractive young women.

SCs where not only did I have to pay entry fees and buy overpriced drinks but was also ripped off repeatedly by strippers. A stripper at a Las Vegas strip club once told me she will do all kinds of things to me if I paid over 400 dollars for a private VIP room, drinks for the both of us etc. This was after I had bought several lap dances from her and I was pretty drunk at that point. When we went to the VIP room, she refused to do anything because she said there are cameras. She just flat out lied to me to make me spend the money. Strippers have ripped me off in a similar fashion in other states too.
I take some responsibility for that. I was a newbie at the strip clubs I visited so I didn't receive the privileges that a regular received. I was also gullible & naive (and drunk) and didn't know how to properly interact with strippers. Strippers are like sharks who will tear apart anyone who isn't prepared and street smart. Heck, I've heard plenty of stories of strippers even ripping off their long-time regulars one fine day just because they can. Also, I've never visited a DFW strip club and I understand the strip clubs here are more affordable and more amenable to extras as compared to out of state strip clubs.
I understand your reasons for visiting strip clubs. I'm sure it must be a lot of fun to go there and chill with your buddies. Plus the ability to check out several gals all at once is another advantage of strip clubs. Other guys like the uncertainty of the strip club experience and how they have to depend on "game" to get laid. Although that claim of "game" is bullshit to me when you still have to pay hundreds of dollars.
For me though, I'll pass on the strip clubs. After getting ripped off by several different strippers to the amount of thousands of dollars while I was left horny every time..I don't want to even risk that happening again. I want a sure thing and I want to minimize the costs. Also, a lot of these strippers seem to be cold, ruthless, and hate men and I don't want to deal with that. Even the ones who smile at you and pretend to be nice are just thinking about how much money they can squeeze out of you. I don't blame the strippers. They have to make a living after all and stripping is usually an opportunity for them to make a lot of cash and then quit early. Still it means that you as the client have to constantly be on alert at a strip club. I don't find that relaxing or fun. To each their own though. One more thing, I'm not fond of mixing alcohol with BCD activities and that's something you're forced to do at a strip club since they force you to buy a drink.
Finally, you must be getting some great deals at some great strip clubs that you pay 200 dollars or less for everything: entry fee, multiple drinks for you and the gals, introductory lap dances, and the various BCD activities etc. I know some long time regulars at local strip clubs in Dallas and even they end up spending 300-400 dollars at least on one outing when you factor in everything. Even they admitted to me that if you're just focused on BCD activities, it's cheaper to visit an AMP or an independent provider.
In your case, since you enjoy socializing with your friends, drinking, hanging out for 3-4 hours at the strip club etc. I'm sure the extra money is worth it because you're looking for more than getting laid.
