...debated carving that magic sequence in my arm, but it's already inscribed in my soul. For me (and for many others, I'm sure) Menu Man isn't just another Harvard Dining Service extravagance; despite his sultry voice, he's infinitely more than a culinary cutie.

Steve Wynn will test that premise next year. His Beau Rivage will feature a new production by Cirque du Soleil: a water show. It may be great. But to be a true Vegas show, it will have to be like nothing--and everything-you've seen before. With music...
