How many strip club customers are regulars you think?

Obviously, we have no way of knowing unless you worked at the club.
But in your opinion, on any given day/night how many customers at the club are 'regulars' vs the 'party crowd', the 'barfly', 'one and done types', or the 'once a year/once every 6 months visiting the club' guy??
I ask because on my most recent visit on a Sunday night, at 10pm, it was packed(for Sunday at 10pm) but it felt like a 'chill spot' and guys weren't really spending money from my observations. I talked to a dancer later that night and she said the same thing!

I don't live in Detroit but I go there often, I know several strippers that work at the clubs and they know me when I walk in. Am I a regular?
Is the guy that goes to a club once a month and gets a few random lapdances from girls but always rotates girls a regular?
I would say even if you only go once every other month (6 times a year) to the same club your a regular too.
Once you become familiar with and recognize the staff at the club....bouncer, cover charge guy, bartender, bathroom guy, waitress, dancers, etc. your becoming a regular.
How much you spend should also factor in too. The barfly or the guy who nurse one beer for 3 hours and dont really spend money on the dancers....are they truly a regular? Maybe to the club but not to the dancer though? ??
Just depends on the type of club, and the location. Sunnyvale is not a tourist destination.

Glad Dougster has got the market segmentation all figured out.
In San Francisco, the Regulars Clubs and considered by most to be better than the Tourist Clubs.

Some are older, probably retired guys with nothing else to do. Some to grab a beer or two after work. Some PLs.
Believe it or not, I've seen it a few times. Two of the old extras clubs I went to had older guys who seemed to basically be club mascots. One was an older guy, never got lap dances or anything. Another seemed to basically be the the girls' gofer. I'd see him talking to a girl, then hustling out of the club and coming back with her lunch, then he'd be giving massages to another girl, then off to get lunch for other girls; once, when I took a girl to a local bar during her break, I saw him there with a couple of strippers buying them drinks. I'm guessing both of these guys were retired, maybe on social security and other assistance, they spent almost nothing in the club but spent all day there.
I have ONCE seen a younger guy who showed up 3-5 days per week ... there was a months-long stretch when he was there EVERY time I was there. Unlike the older mascot guys above, this guy did spend money; also, the girls didn't seem to have a lot of respect for him, he was known to have a wife and family and I think that even the strippers took a dim view of him being more devoted to the SC than to the family
I go days and nights about 50-50 now; I used to be 95% day and it wasn't easy to get the attention of the hottest girls because they'd flit from regular to regular and never be free. I was SO lucky to get my ATF because for me it was love at first sight, and in the 7 years I knew her she would work the room only 5 min. a shift. If that. This was not unique for the day shift.
I'd say 35-45% of day PL's had regular dancers.
Night is more fun in my club if you like variety, because there's more girls and more non-regular customers. Because of my nature, I have acquired night regulars....but I have never felt I couldn't have any dancer in the club with just an hour maximum wait. And that's due to my laziness! Day time? Forget it. You need to be aggressive. There are exceptions of course but I'd say only 10% of night P/L's have regulars to the exclusion of other dancers.
I might be wildly off...just MHO.
I mean it also depends, is the guy who goes once a month with his buddies on Friday Night after work a "regular"?
