Home vs. Road Clubs

The older I get, the more my preferences change. When I first joined the site, I clubbed predominantly on the road. This was, in no small part, due to the fact that my local clubs at the time were expensive with low ROI. I did eventually find a nice [then] local club with good OTC options, but it was not as simple as I would have liked.
Then some years back, I moved down south and it has made a dramatic difference. I am now so well wired in a couple of my local clubs that I find myself missing those clubs when I go on extended road trips. I just finished one such trip to NYC and, by the end, came within a hair of overpaying for OTC with a girl who would not normally make my OTC roster. I backed out in time, but it was close. To be fair, there are few places in the U.S. that are worse than NYC for ROI, so maybe that was part of the problem, but even in better locations I sometimes find myself wishing that I was back in my home clubs.
Anyone else have a strong preference one way or another and, if so, why?

I travel way less than I used to but I do not like local clubs. I prefer my anonymity!
Unlike many a SCer, most times I don't like being a known commodity b/c I don't like girls that know me assuming/expecting I will get dances from them as soon as they see me.
For me, strip clubs have been a home affair. Very little road life for me. But it has always been clear to me that strip clubs and TUSCL offer the greatest benefits for those on the road. You need club lists and reviews, when on the road. You really don't need that for the home clubs.
In the future, I will be on the road, and my first stops will be strip clubs, backed up where needed by AMPs. And of course TUSCL and its lists and reviews will be extremely important.
This will not be sex tourism, but it will be expanding a business, and the new places will be places I plan to be regularly, and the women will be my warm ports for those metros, as well as my first boots on the ground.
And this will apply throughout North America, and maybe even beyond.

Stalinism is the deformity of Communism.
Fascism is the deformity of Capitalism.
And I add, "Neoliberalism is Neofascism."
If I were still living in any of the previous areas where I lived, I would've probably gone on several strip club trips already since the clubs in the areas where I used to live have very low ROI.
Some pros of "home" clubbing:
- Familiarity with local customs, market rates, and subtleties like the best place to sit or best day/time to visit to optimize your experience
- Benefits of being known as a "regular" by both dancers and staff
- Learning not just which dancers offer the performance you want, but also which ones have that "je ne sais quoi" to reach favorite status
- OTC always presents three location options (her place, yours, or neutral territory such as a hotel room)
Cons of home clubbing:
- If variety is a priority, always playing on home turf makes that more difficult (or at least less frequent)
- Anonymomity is to some degree inversely proportional to your level of "regular" status - most of us have some level of privacy we'd like to maintain, regardless of relationship or business status
- Anything negatively impacting your home club experience can affect the whole clubbing ecosystem in short order. Maybe a local ordinance bans full nudity; or your favorite high-mileage club gets raided; or if you have an ugly break-up with a fave, she poisons the well for her co-workers you might otherwise want to replace her.
Pro/con of clubbing away from home is largely the inverse. In some cases I've been fortunate enough to have recurring travel to top-tier clubbing cities, which in many ways offered the best of both worlds.
I will, however, visit clubs in other locations if I can determine there are good ones. I *prefer* my local clubs, because they’re familiar, I’m known, and the girls are largely cooperative.
I can’t have my car seen parked at a local club, the town I live in is too small. If I lived in a large metro area, and/or was not married, this wouldn’t be as much of an issue.
