== Notes ==
*First time Bones and Booth going undercover and use the Roxy and Tony identities.
*Booth wears a Guys and Dolls shirt - the musical is about a set of gamblers with an underground craps game. It's revealed in this episode that Booth's game, back in his gambling days, was craps.
*This episode marks the first use of Brennan's blood-revealing flashlight. In reality, the chemical luminol is applied to crime scenes to reveal traces of blood. UV lights, like Brennan's, don't reveal blood, but they do reveal some other bodily fluids (semen, urine, and saliva). UV light also makes bone fragments glow, so it is likely that she would carry the flashlight.
*There are special scene transitions for this episode, cards and poker chips spread across the screen to go from the Vegas scenes to the scenes at the Jeffersonian. 
*The crazy socks that Booth has on in this episode was a homage to David Boreanaz. In real life, he loves to wear crazy and bold socks, even with suits. 
*David Boreanaz was also an underground fighter in the Angel Season 1 episode "The Ring". In that show, he was made to fight against his will and was almost defeated in his main fight against a much larger foe. The outfit Booth wears is also quite similar to the one Angel wears in said episode.
*The victim named Billie is shown wearing the same t-shirt worn by Billie Piper in the Doctor Who episode "Tooth and Claw" which came out 6 months prior to this episode.
*The commercial bumpers of casino chips being flung across the screen and collected feature the logo of the fictional Metro Casino from Dr. Vegas (2004).
*T.J. Thynes character Jack Hodgins mentions that a chemical, hexavalent chromium, was found in his bugs. Just 6 years earlier he played a lawyer in Erin Brockovich which involved a town contaminated with hexavalent chromium.
*There are a few mentions of a "Tangiers" casino. Las Vegas has at no time had a casino by that name. This is likely a reference to the fictional Tangiers casino from the movie Casino directed by Martin Scorsese.
== I don't know what that means ==
* Brennan: Pine oil.
* Booth: Okay, pine oil. What's that mean?
* Brennan: I don't know yet.
