Trivia
- Amy Rose states that this place reminds her of Casinopolis at the beginning of the stage. However, Amy was never playable in Casinopolis in Sonic Adventure.
- Amy was shown, however, to live in Station Square which where Casinopolis is located.
- Team Rose can access the route Team Dark and Team Sonic take in their own missions by using a Team Blast at the Goal Ring and jumping across to the next platform.
- By using this technique to extend the level, the player will learn that Team Rose originally had access to the full version of the level. The Team will say quotes about the V.I.P. Room, the Laser Protected Hallway, and the V.I.P. Pinball Table.
- It is possible to access the V.I.P. Room with Team Sonic and Team Dark. The player must get on the two-tiered pinball table right before they reach the V.I.P. entrance. There is a switch on the top level of the machine that deactivates the lasers. To reach the switch, the player must avoid the green bumpers. The switch is around the middle of the table. In Team Dark's version of Casino Park, the switch is around the section with the triangle bumpers at the tail end of the table, and is relatively difficult to reach.
- When entering Casino Park, Shadow will say "Cool city". However, if Shadow is left idle in the stage he will say "What a worthless city".
- It is strongly implied that Tails, despite his age, is a gambler, specifically a blackjack player, as well as a cheater, having been banned from Casino Park for card counting.
