Production

On 29 February 2012, CGEF revealed the episode's title, its writer to be Josh Weinstein and its director to be Frank Marino.[2][3] On 10 July, MSN TV updated their Futurama episode guide, revealing the episode's plot and air date.[1] The same day, Zap2it released a TV listing of Futurama which showed the same information about the episode, with slight variation from the plot published by MSN.[4]

On 12 July, following the broadcast of the episode "Zapp Dingbat", the public were given the opportunity to participate in a live chat with the Futurama cast and crew. Several clips of "Viva Mars Vegas" during the live stream.[5]

Trivia

  • When the vault scans the Donbot's finger, it identifies him as Don "Smith".
  • The opening sequence is a live-action recreation, which was also used to promote the new season through ads on Comedy Central.
  • Zoidberg reads a newspaper called "The Daily Bum Blanket".

Quotes

    Zoidberg: Look out, penny slots, I've got a system! It's to put all my money in you! [He laughs to himself.]

    Zoidberg: [He sighs then puts his claws together and begins to pray.] God, it's Zoidberg. I hate to bother you, but- [A huge bag full of money lands directly in front of him, he looks inside.] Okay, okay, I'll shut up!

Goofs

  • A few stories ago Mars was destroyed but now it is back.
  • Native martians are seen here, but they all left mars back in "Where the Bugallo Roam".
  • Zoidberg spends a lot of money before he gets to the table, so he couldn't have had eight million left, so he shouldn't have been able to buy eight chips, each worth a million dollars.
  • If the Wongs had two casinos, then why not just go there when the mafia take their first casino and their house?
  • None of the mafia, or the native martians seemed to question, why the old shrimp carriers, and all those people turned up (the crew in disguise) in the money counting room, despite the fact its supposed to be the most secure area.
  • The deal between the native martians and the Wongs here, is different to the deal mentioned in "Where the Bugallo Roam".
  • Zoidberg doesn't eat the two 100 dollar bills that fall out of his mouth.
