Background[]
As part of his final assignment, Agent 47 is hired to discover who is behind the attacks on the ICA.

The Franchise have also sent out two assassins that must be eliminated alongside the targets.
Mission information[]
Briefing[]
It's over, 47. I'm closing shop on this end. This will be your last assignment. There are two targets. Vaana Ketlyn, a former Romanian circus performer who's now a big player in the global gray market, and a CIA operative who's been playing both sides of the fence. Ketlyn's hosting a masquerade party at the Shark Club, in Vegas, and the CIA op'll be there to close a deal. Even if this job isn't a set-up, your presence will almost definitely be expected. You're our only surviving agent, 47. Find out whoever it is that's been coming after us. Eliminate both targets - and anyone that targets you - and exit in the vehicle I'll have ready for you in the parking garage. You've been a very effective agent. It's been pleasant to work with you. I hope the future is kind to you.

Notes[]
- Although it is listed as an objective, it is not actually necessary to retrieve the data from the laptop to complete the mission. Retrieving the data will highlight Eve and Maynard John as targets on the map however.
- Certain guests (of either party) who see 47 trespassing will promptly tell him to leave, even though they are not staff members of the party. Meanwhile certain staff members will ignore 47 trespassing. This is possibly the result of an oversight.
- Dropping bodies in the shark tank from the pyrotechnics balcony will make the shark grow fatter and fatter the more it is fed. The bodies are removed from the map once the shark eats them.
- Turning on the projector adjacent to Ketlyn's private chamber will alert the guards, as well as Martinez and Ketyln herself if they are in the room.

Trivia[]
- There are 120 NPCs in this level, this includes six policemen and 27 bodyguards to watch out for.
- Near the Torture Chamber door, there are two women kissing. If 47 gets closer, they stop and smile.
- In the freezer room of the Hell party there is a kitchen crate filled with lobsters which can be used to smuggle weapons into the Heaven party via the food elevator. The description of this crate reads "Allan please add details", a placeholder that remains in the game as a result of a developer oversight. The phrase is referenced in Hitman: Absolution in the mission Birdie's Gift, where "Allan please add more details" is displayed if 47 scores 666 at the gun range. In Hitman HD Trilogy, the crate's description is changed to "Any details yet, Allan?". In Hitman: Blood Money — Reprisal the description states, "Seriously, Allan. It's been seventeen years. Any details yet...?".
- A newspaper advert for the party after A House of Cards gives the date of the party as Friday, June 24, though the game dates the mission August 15. Also inside the security room where you can retrieve the camera recording, there is a calendar on the wall that has April as the current month.
- If you earn a Silent Assassin rating, the two assassins from the Franchise will not be mentioned in the newspaper.
- The song Eve sings on the stage is "Tomorrow Never Dies" by Swan Lee.[1]
- The cut scene before the gameplay begins shows 47 in a limousine. Right when you start the game playing the limousine is shown going into the garage. However 47’s extraction point is a minivan.
- The computer in reception displays Hitman website.
- The screen of the open laptop in Eve's office depicts what seems to be a target profile of Mr. 47, complete with a target image and a a small list of of the following weapons; his Silverballer, the FN-2000, and a syringe.
- The Shamal hotel can be seen from the window in Eve's office.
- Loading a saved game on this level in the Xbox 360 version will eventually freeze the game, requiring a console restart.
- In total there are 19 stories on this level, making it the highest level in the game.
- There is a couple having a lap dance behind the cages in the same room. The dance mirrors that in The Meat King's Party.
- When Eve is singing on stage, 47 can safely throw the RU-AP mine into the crowd via the stage hall entrance without alerting any of the NPCs. If he pulls out any other weapon there he will be noticed.
- Headshots won't be credited if fired through the window in the projection booth.
- The automatic sliding door at the reception area can be manually closed & opened.
- It takes 25 seconds for the elevator to go from the top floor to the garage and vice versa
