When Bond climbed the White House, he was actually climbing the Las Vegas International Hotel (now called the Las Vegas Hilton). Howard Hughes owned the hotel and rather that asking for money to film there, he asked for a 16mm print of the finished movie.

The 'Gambling Ring' Q uses in the Willard White casino is the only Bond gadget (at least up to 'A View To A Kill') which doesn't actually work.

When Bond first meets Tiffany Case in her apartment she is playing some music. If you listen carefully you will notice that it is the theme song for the film.

The actor who played the real Willard White (not a Bloefield copy), is Jimmy Dean of Breakfast Sausage fame.

It was well documented that the deal put before Sean Connery to tempt him back into the role of Bond was more than generous, a reputed $1 million. So generous a fee was it, that at that time it was listed in the Guinness Book of Records. He donated the entire amount to his charity, the Scottish Education Trust. In addition, United Artists agreed to fund the production of two movies of Connery's choice.

Mr. Witt is played by Bruce Glover who is the father of Crispin Glover.

In this movie, one of the White technicians in the desert space lab is Shane Rimmer, the later captain of the USS Wayne sub in "The Spy Who Loved Me".

With the location came its own particular temptations and much gambling took place by the cast and crew during their spell in Las Vegas. Whilst there, however, Cubby Broccoli fell prey to one of a spate of high profile robberies, where his hotel room was burgled whilst he slept and his wife Dana's jewelery was taken.
