A private person or business is not able to deny you your constitutional rights. Do a little research on public accommodation law. Think about it in terms of a "whites only" night. Or "no gays allowed" establishment.

Umm Ladies night does not bar men. It offers women drinks for less. It isn’t just ladies who can go. I used to know guys who went on Ladies Night to pick up girls.

Both statements are correct and not contradictory. The nightclub is not a governmental entity except on rare occasions when a government owns (or otherwise controls) the nightclub. Therefore, the nightclub is NOT able to deny constitutional rights, no matter what it does. However, the nightclub might violate discrimination laws relative to public accommodations.
A "whites only" policy at a nightclub would violate federal, state, and local public accommodation/anti-discrimination laws. However, a "no gays" policy in a nightclub might NOT violate the law in some areas. Indeed, that is one reason that homosexuals are lobbying to be included in federal anti-discrimination laws.

A private person or business is not able to deny you your constitutional rights. Does the public accommodation law apply to amusement parks?
