CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Brass gets a tattoo, right under his scar of where the bullet hit him. The tattoo says May 11th, 2006. The day he was shot. And no coincidence the day the Season 6 part 1 finale "Bang-Bang"in which he was shot, aired.

When Nick and Sofia go trough Celia's purse they find tickets for many circus shows. They are all Cirque du Soleil shows: O (a show in the water), Love (a show based on Beatles songs), Zumanity (a very sexy show where only adults are allowed)and Mystere (presented only at the Treasure Island). We can conclude that Celia saw ALL the Cirque du Soleil shows presented in Vegas.

Greg: Siegfried and Roy's disappearing elephant no longer impresses me. Siegfried and Roy are two entertainers who work on the Las Vegas strip, primarily at the Mirage hotel and casino. Their long running shows of illusion were famous for working with Big Cats, in particular white tigers but included white lions as well. Their show at the Mirange ended in October of 2003 after one of the white tigers in the act bit Roy.

Brass (to Sam): This is just like old times. You, me, a party and a dead body. This is a reference to the Season 6 episode "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang."

Hodges: Just say the magic words. Warrick: "Shut up, Hodges?" Hodges: Open sesame This is an allusion to the story in Tales from the Arabian Nights: Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. Ali Baba overhears the Captain of the thieves say "Open, Sesame" in order to open up the magic passageway to their secret lair in a steep, high, seemingly inpenetrable rock.

Kà: It is a Cirque du Soleil's show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas created and directed by Robert Lepage. It follows a twin brother and sister, heirs of an empire in an unknown land, and after the royal family is attacked in the annual sword playing celebration, they have strange encounters and epic battles with the attacker. This show differs from other Cirque du Soleil's productions in that is more a Vegas production than a traditional Cirque production and that also uses floating platforms that rotate and move with the performers on top.

Cirque du Soleil: Based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; the world famous Cirque du Soleil (French for Circus of the Sun) is an entertainment empire founded in Quebec in 1984 by Guy Liberté and Daniel Gauthier, two former street performers, which can be seen in their shows, which are street performance combined with opera, ballet, rock music, busking and circus. It focuses on a storyline and amazing performances and emphasizes the use of humans as performers, instead of animals. It includes contortionists, jugglers, clowning, trapeze artists, clowns and acts of strenght. All the performers wear very colourful costumes, all music is played live and some spoken parts are done in a language invented by the company, the Cirquish.
