Facts about

As Peter Lawford, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra attempt to disguise themselves by blackening their faces in the garbage truck near the end of the movie, Sammy Davis Jr. says, "I knew this color would come in handy some day." Martin and Sinatra teased Davis about that scene for as long as they knew each other thereafter.
The casinos hit in the heist are: Hotel Flamingo, the Sands, Desert Inn, the Riviera and the Sahara.
KLAS TV reporting in the wake of the heist was a real Las Vegas media station. Not long after this movie was released, Vegas millionaire resident Howard Hughes bought it so he could control what movies aired on late night television.
