  • Roof – two keypads on doors on each side of the helipad
  • Sewer Tunnel – near the river past the racetrack, across the street from the casino, you'll find the entrance to the sewer tunnel. Get inside and you'll find a gate on your right.

Approach selection

After discovering the contents of the vault, you will be able to choose one of three approaches to the heist: Silent & Sneaky, The Big Con, or Aggressive.

The Silent & Sneaky approach will allow you to enter the casino and get rid of the guards with complete discretion, as long as you stay on and don't make yourself heard by the other guards.
The Big Con approach will use disguises that allow you to break into the Casino, but not all guards will be fooled.
The Aggressive approach will be the most violent, equipped with heavy weapons you will kill the guards without states of heart to arrive at the vault.

The approaches have three possible statuses:

  • Without post-it: Heist is available on normal difficulty
  • Post-it padlock: The heist is unavailable because you have just completed this approach
  • Skull Post-it: The heist is available in hard (possible after completing the heist approach, then another approach to remove the Skull Post-it), this approach provides higher gains due to its difficulty.

Extras to practice

  • Casino Model – $130,000 – highlights access points
  • Door Security – $425,000 – practice hacking doors
  • Vault Door – $900,000 – practice cracking vault

Tips and tricks

  • Enter through the arcade room garage to get to the heist preparation room more quickly.
  • If you don't like the content of the vault and if you have completed all the 3 approaches, you can call Lester and cancel the heist to change the content of the vault. You will lose the $25,000 initial fees by canceling the heist.
  • It is possible to tune the getaway vehicles once the recovery mission is completed. Enter the vehicle in the basement of the arcade room to tune it.
  • During the heist you can also grab some extra cash from the secret vault, which is on the ground floor right next to the elevator. The switch to open up the secret vault door is in the CCTV room next to the elevator. You can expect somewhere between $20,000 to $100,000 to be in there.
    You can grab this vault content twice during the Silent & Sneaky approach, once on your way to the main vault and once on your way back up to the exit.
