Storyline

Nothing is as it seems when the CSIs are called in to investigate an apparent death in a hotel pool by electrocution. It turns out that the body is a dummy. The real crime scene is inside the hotel when an antique Japanese sword is stolen from an exhibition. As this investigation proceeds, the detectives will find that there are more deceptions in play. Another case involves the death of a teenage girl who's into the vampire cult. All the blood in her body has been sucked out.

Goofs

When Grissom confronts the casino owner, he states that it is extremely difficult to remove straps from bundles of money without tearing them. Not true. People who work in the banking industry take straps off and put them back on constantly (usually for verification counts). If you bend the bundle of money in half lengthwise, there is plenty of slack in the band to slide it off and back on again without tearing it.
