By Yeni Alvarez Last Valentine’s Day, I had a tour de force culinary experience.  It started with an invitation to a popular restaurant I had heard of, but was afraid to try.  I’m speaking of Dining in the Dark at OPAQUE. Opaque’s mission is to engage all the senses in a pitch-black dining room, while eager guests are taken from one course to the next, softly guided by their respective blind or visually impaired servers. Let me start from the beginning.  We first walked in to the lounge area and were greeted by friendly staff, who reacted as if they knew something we didn’t when we announced it was our first time.  They knew we were in for a treat. We picked our meal in the dimly lit romantic lounge and waited for our server to guide us to our table.  Behind closed curtains we entered.  Hands on my guide’s shoulder we went, slowly making our way between pockets of fading conversations in a sea of darkness. The maze ended up in a comfortable corner near the entrance to the kitchen. At this point, our ears were still getting adjusted to the mumbling, as we picked up on various voices at the same time, being ...

Written By: Yeni Alvarez - A very appropriate name for a fluid, explosive show, Cirque du Soleil's "O" is this Diva's choice for entertainment when visiting Las Vegas. The signature show of sin city's Bellagio Hotel, this water-filled extravaganza pays tribute to the magic of theater and the spell cast by dreams. By now, who hasn't heard of the incredible feats and flying acrobatics of Cirque du Soleil's fame? It's so famous, Traveling Diva is happy to introduce an adjective in their honor "Cirquedusoleil-ish." No acrobatic show will ever again escape the comparison.  Written and directed by Franco Dragone, "O" has raised the standards of must-see shows on the Las Vegas Strip.  This incomparable show can only be experienced live and its creators are very careful when releasing pictures or videos, thus keeping their secrets safe and the element of surprise on their side.  No pictures are allowed during the show, and the awed look on the audiences faces is enough to let this diva know why. Audiences were dazzled by the floating carousel dropping from the sky slowly in a clockwise motion only to be further attonished when they sailed away on the surface of the water. ...
