Consensus Best City?

Minnesota
I took a few years off from the hobby during the pandemic (no political statements, just a fact), and now that I've been getting back into it, I'm wondering if I'm on the right track for a good time.
It seems like Tampa (Oz and the like) is maybe best?
Is Atlanta still right up there, too?
There are more-fun options in Reno and TJ, obviously, but as far as clubs go, I remember Detroit and Phoenix being great about five years ago, but I'm not sure if they are still worth the trip.
TLDR: If you're going to travel for an SC weekend, is there a consensus best city. Not asking for a friend; looking to travel.
Cheers!

The runner up is a combo between Dallas, Los Angeles and Vegas. There are some other cities too but they've usually only a few small clubs. This might be weird but I never got into Detroit clubs.
Generational event with lasting repercussions? Unless you're around Ukraine/Russia or Israel/Gaza that's still the cultural touchstone.
"Serious question, is referring to the pandemic even relevant any more?"
- yes, I think so since to this day it is still (at least) affecting me in daily life (i.e. still have supply issues, everyone works from home now, cash flow issues for probably half of the country, just to name a few). I would not be dealing with any of this crap if COVID never happened, or if wouldn't have lasted as long.
If you want better intel you need to focus your question a bit more.
Visited Dallas recently; they have some good clubs where some dancers still give good laps, but I didn't see any 9s or 10s.
Wonder if there are any clubs with 9's or 10's that focus on laps in the country any more?
But if you're going to get on a plane to travel anyway, why not leave the country to go to Montreal or TJ then? For the price of a HH session in a Pompano Beach club, you could have 4 30 min sessions in TJ and still have cheddar leftover for beer and fichas.
It is exhausting to search through hundreds of reviews to figure out just what cities might offer loose rules and the possibility of extras if the stars align, and I had started searching back through discussion threads, but got far enough back that I thought it was safe to ask, in general terms.
TLDR; these responses are super-helpful and exactly what I was hoping to get. Thanks again, everyone.
The pompano triangle is definitely worth a visit. Probably cheaper ITC costs. Higher cost of everything else in the city. If you don't like Cuban girls.... skip this one.
City of industry LA area. Haven't been in years. No booze. Used to be a contender.
