Apostrophe Use

Hi,

We have been having a discussion about apostrophes in Ladies Night, Mens Night, Seniors Night.

Is it Ladies' Night or Ladies Night?

Mens' Night or Mens Night

Seniors' Night or Seniors Night

I'm thinking that there should be no apostrophe because the Ladies, Men, and Seniors do not own the night. Rather, it is a night for them.

Please can you tell me which of these examples shows the correct apostrophe usage?

Thank you

You can use either the possessive or the noun-attributive form. I suggest the noun-attributive form, since you don't have to fiddle with apostrophes.
