I appreciated Sisko's hesitation at wanting to hang out in the 60's Vegas reproduction.  I struggle with those kinds of recreations (Renaissance Faire, Dickens Fair, etc.).  If you're going to be "accurate" then you have to acknowledge the subjugation of women & minorities, the classism, child labor and other problemmatic aspects.  But if you make it inclusive and respresentative of our current population, then it seems to 'whitewash' the oppression and seems to minimize the importance of recognizing that there were negative aspects of that time.  This can lead to a false nostalgia for a time that never really existed (or only existed at the expense of others).

Nice to see an episode filmed in San Francisco that made great use of so many iconic places: shots of the TransAmerica building, Golden Gate bridge, Fairmont hotel, the Fine Arts Museum, San Francisco General Hospital, Bay Bridge, several street scenes in Pacific Heights, Nob Hill & along the Embarcadero.

Also noticed a second actor who played CC Capwell on Santa Barbara appears.  This time it's Charles Bateman in his second MI appearance.  Peter Mark Richman was previously in 4 other MI episodes.

When the team is following Varsi, they are driving in LA, but the map they are supposedly following him on shows San Francisco streets (Mission, Van Ness, etc.)

When Colonel Kemmer looks out the window of the hotel (at fictional 227 North Fargo), the view is  of the Van Ness (back) side of San Francisco City Hall. There are no hotels that would have that view. The building across from that view is the War Memorial Opera House.
