Trivia:

The character of Mary Connell (Nikki Cox) was originally written to a high-class hooker, and was filmed that way in the pilot. Mary is seen several times with a "date" and the dialog is consistent with that of a call-girl. After filming, the character was re-envisioned as the hotel's "Special Event Director". It's only in Danny's (Josh Duhamel) voice-over / narration, that he clarifies she isn't a hooker.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Danny and Sam are talking to the Bunny Slippers guy in his hotel suite. A large plasma screen TV is on the wall behind them, you can clearly read "Welcome to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino".

Quotes:

Ed Deline: Hey, uh, you're not, uh...
Danny McCoy: No, no, I swear.
Samantha 'Sam' Jane Marquez: Don't worry, the only one he's doing is your daughter.
