Is 'mileage' more based on club aesthetics? Or, geography?

After seeing a recent article, it got me wondering if 'mileage' is more about the club...OR...the area where the club resides?
For example, I think anyone that has visited Tijuana knows that those clubs offer "extras". Given. But, they are also very nice clubs. Best VIP experience for the money last time I went. I got my own private skybox and plenty of room to entertain a dancer AND the drinks were cheap to boot! My point is, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a TJ SC that doesn't offer high mileage...regardless of it's "condition/aesthetics".
So, applying that to the U.S. SC scene....isn't it true that "mileage" is more likely in certain areas than in others? Would it not be fair to say that the Detroit area is likely to have a higher mileage experience than other areas in Michigan (for example)? California, I'm assuming, is also going to be a bit higher mileage in certain areas (OC, outside LA, San Jose) but not in others? And I've visited only 1 club in Denver, 1 outside Chicago, 1 in Champagne (IL), and 1 in Indiana...no real "mileage" available. Is it fair to say that mileage is less likely in some states (Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, etc...) or cities (Vegas, NYC, etc...)?
I'm only asking. I've not clubbed much outside the Detroit area and Orange County (CA)...so maybe I'm wrong and there's mileage everywhere...ya just gotta find a dive SC.

Chicago is not known for either.
Some places like Tampa and Jax are laden with mileage but not always extras.
Then you have outliers like Follies, all extras and high mileage all the time, in a city which was largely hit or miss on mileage (until Follies closed and their dancers spread around the Atlanta clubs). Now those dancers are gearing the xulture of other clubs towards higher mileage, but the clubs try to tamp it down because they have enough problems with city governments.
Then there are oddities like New Orleans. The Big Easy is not so much with strip clubs. Most clubs are national chains like Rick's, Hustlers, and Scores, so they have little tolerance for high mileage and ITC. You don't have to look hard for OTC, but you do have to bid high.
There can sometimes be an outlier where a particular club has much-more-mileage than the rest, or most, of the clubs in the area (e.g. Follies), or the opposite where a club, often a more-upscale-club, has less mileage than other clubs in the area (e.g. Legends Detroit; etc).
Good SC-areas in terms of mileage are more the exception than norm.
e.g. Penthouse Detroit, and Flight-Club in Inkster just outside Detroit, were very similar clubs with same sky-high-extras and owned by the same-guy – Detroit-proper cracked-down and Penthouse subsequently closed but Flight-Club is still going strong b/c they are not affected by the same-ordinances.
Some divey places are actually more strict on touch or prostitution than some "nicer" clubs.
Idk
As for main question, I'd say geography.
El Paso, TX is close to New Mexico. Time was, TX laws were more lax than NM laws about club activities. During those times, El Paso had plenty of extras-friendly clubs. That time has mostly passed, and things apparently are more discrete than they used to be.
However, although mass is supposed to be very strict I have seen a lot of clubs that operate very brothel like. It is kind of perplexing that you could have a state that is very strict but then you can go into a certain establishment and somehow they managed to defy all of those boundaries and rules. We have clubs here where are you literally can only get an air dance and then we have clubs where I have seen people give full service for close to $30.
