Ever pegged as the high roller regular?

There's a club I really enjoy visiting. In the past, I've spent a lot of money in this club. More than I should have, really. I got the attention of the dancers, the bouncers, the management... (Oddly enough, not the bar tenders and waitresses!) I ended up with a VIP card that I used on a few occasions.
Times are tougher now. My play money is not what it used to be. I try new clubs hoping to find that spark... Every time I think I've spent enough time away from my favorite club, I go back to find that I'm still remembered as the guy who spends a lot of money. And the problem is, it's expected now.
Have I made the ultimate mistake in clubbing? Is there any way to repair this faux pas and reset the status quo?

You could try being candid about your new financial situation. ("I'ld love to take you to the VIP, baby, but things are a little tight right now"). The dancers should be able to relate. ("Yeah, the economy real sucks now.") Some of them that know you from before may feel sympathetic enough to offer you reduced rates. (How much you got, honey, we can still have some fun...")
Oh, and let us know if this approach works, so we can try it out, too!
