Breaking the Bank at Caligula's

Interesting things I've noticed so far:

Once you use Millie's card the second time and go down that corridor,
there's a room on the right with an arcade game in it -- which you can
apparently never play. If you try it at any time during the mission, you
get the "Looks like you're busy; come back later" message. When you're NOT
on the mission, you can't enter that hallway.

On the last leg of the mission, when you're going to Verdant Meadows, go to
the LV airport and take a jet. Bail out over Verdant Meadows and notice how
SLOWLY you freefall. It takes many times longer to fall than it normally
would to freefall the same distance. CJ's a bit like a feather. (Bet it
was rigged this way for this mission so that you can jump off of Caligula's
roof without falling too fast. Has anyone EVER made it to that copter?)

I finally tried jumping into that ventilation shaft (where you throw the
teargas) like someone mentioned once. It takes some trying, but can be done
with moderate effort. You end up on the outside of the Caligula's "floating
interior", high in the sky over LV, with "ghost-world" rendering (exterior
world unrendered). If you jump off, it's a mighty long fall before you
splat. Take a parachute if you want to survive and walk around among the
people that spawn in the ghost world. (Open the chute when you get the
message that tells you to. If you open it early, you'll descend for a very
long time.) (Is there any other way into the Ghost World without a cheat in
SA? I know there is in VC. Oh wait. As I recall, if you crash the Beefy
Baron plane into the sea, the mission ends and puts you in the Ghost World
somehow. Anyway. The Caligula's one is a good one.)

I've never made it to the cop chopper roof.
Never been able to play the game, but *have* been able to use the
Sprunk machine - I think it's only there for health replenishment
during the battles...Never been able to get into that duct.
*Have* read that in the ghost world, allternative peds spawn.
Mainly the 3rd drug dealer, that spawns in SF after the extra
territory glitch, as well as more Sindacco's in LV. (not just Bayside)

I would really like to check out the ghost world in SA.

I also find it odd that at least 3 times in my 100% games,
either CJ had no stars, (not shooting the cops/chopper)
or only 1 or 2. Walking as slow as possible all the way back to
Verdant Meadows. Helicopter spotlit, but not "wanted".
