Your guess would be wrong, and not even close nor surprising. According to stats as recently from FY 2017, NY is #1 in terms of domestic visitors to Miami at 2.1M—nearly 7x more than #4 Boston; adding in Hartford/New Haven and Springfield and NY is still 4-5x greater...scroll down to page 10 on report link below:
I have no familiarity with Phoenix, but there probably isn't a U.S. city other than Miami than has so much of another city's people and identity wrapped into it. Maybe the Las Vegas-Los Angeles connection is similar but that's to be expected since those two cities are only about 4 hours apart.
also NYC and Philly have more people moving between than anywhere else
NYC and Philly don't have as much population exchange as Los Angeles and Las Vegas. According to the 2012-2016 ACS dataset, 13,378 Angelenos picked up and moved to Las Vegas compared to the 3,458 people who moved from NYC to Philadelphia. Philly doesn't come close to that even if you include the rest of the NYC Tri-State counties.
There were also a fair number of people who moved from Vegas to LA (5,100).
