The brief sequence with Terry and Tess presiding over the demolition of a Vegas hotel, with Danny and Linus looking on and Basher watching on TV originally had the New York, New York Hotel and Casino being brought down by explosives. However in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, it was felt this was completely inappropriate, as the image was too reminiscent of the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. The CG backdrop of the collapsing buildings was replaced just before the film's theatrical release with a new fictional hotel called the Xanadu. However the HBO 'behind the scenes' making of featurette, included on the DVD and Blu-ray, was made well before the movie was finished, and actually features the original pre-9/11 version of the sequence showing the New York, New York being demolished.
