Great information and I need time to go through, but lock down places like Mandala, Tribeca, and La Vaquita and you will never pay a cover or wait in line ever. They will actually send a guy down the street to pull me into their club in order to avoid having me go into another club. They aren't making a ton of money off of all of those backpackers. I've gotten bangs from both Tribeca and La Vaquita. I've never gotten more than a makeout from Mandala, but Mandala is the place where I came up with a strategy, so if I start spending more time there, I should do better. Tribeca also has ten hotel rooms above it, so logistics may be really good there.
I think the salsa club is called "Salsanera," and I agree with your description of it. You might want to correct that. That map is unreal. Around the corner of 10th Avenue and 12th Street, headed toward Starbucks, there is a bar/restaurant called La Jarra which stays open late. Not a great place, but it sometimes has live bands and it you need a venue change, it is there. The place between Palazzo and the taco shop used to be called Pura Vida. It was really popular and mostly Argentines went there. I don't know what happened to it.
Across the street from Mandala is Diablito Cha Cha Cha. I've never had any success in that place, although the guy working the door is convinced that I'm Eminem.
