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.

Booth wears a Guys and Dolls shirt - the musical is about a set of gamblers with an underground craps game. In this episode, Booth and Brennan are in search of an underground fight club. It is also revealed in this episode that Booth's game, back in his gambling days, was craps.
This episode marks the first use of Dr. 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.
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.
