Spilled drinks absorb better on carpeting and the broken glass stays closer to its target as well. Tile, not a good idea. I can't recall a strip club that had a hard surface on the main floor. The lobby, maybe, but not on the main floor.
One of the dive clubs in ESL has a tile floor and all the chairs are hard surfaces and not upholstered. One of the dancers told me that it was because the owners had fires in two prior clubs and the insurance company wouldn't let them have flammable material in the club.
I know of one with a concrete floor. They just did a renovation a year or so ago, but whatever it is, they still didn't put a carpet on top of it. The private rooms have carpet, but the main floor is concrete. Not surprisingly, this is a place regarded as a strip club assembly line. This is something I've never really thought about, but that's another reason they suck.
I vaguely remember seeing one somewhere with a parquet floor, which I thought was weird.
A non-absorbent surface would require frequent use of the yellow pylons that warn of wet floor - especially in the CR. Most dancers do not appreciate getting down on their knees on a hard tile surface. The frequent click of dancers' heels on tile would take away from the ambiance.
