SAN DIEGO, CA, January 22, 2010 - Porto Vista Hotel (Porto Vista) is hosting a two-day flashback love fest for couples and singles alike to celebrate Valentine's weekend with the Dating Game hosted by local celebrities, a Soultrain dance party and a menu of aphrodisiac offerings at the Glass Door restaurant.
