I would say that any of the larger places -- especially the Viruta and Canning -- work as "prácticas" on off days and earlier in the night. Especially check out Canning on Monday nights right after the class or on Tuesday nights (but go early, that way you get more space and feel around the space more, so it's like a práctica) and on Thursday nights (check out the class with Damian Essel (?) on Thursday nights too. At the Viruta), one-stop-shop for all kinds of Tango, check out Sunday nights (at 12 or 1), Wednesday nights (I think there's a class first), and maybe Thursday night.
In Buenos Aires there's a lot of Tango but it's hard to say which place is going to be great what night, exactly. Práctica X, for example, explodes when someone well-known dances there, but sometimes it explodes when no one is dancing. The Viruta is totally unpredictable.
One rule of thumb: the Viruta, Canning and every other club in Buenos Aires follow the same pattern. So if you talk to a whole bunch of Argentinians and everyone is going out -- even if it's for Electronica -- you know that the cabs will be hard to get and the milonga will be crowded as well.
Well, at least that's my best sociological view on the thing.

Dude,
Whatever you do,just don't stop blogging about tango. A lot of people out there are scraping every single piece of tango posts there is on the web.
Thank you for your post.
