The Diamond Casino Heist scope-out has two required objectives: photograph the casino's main entrance during Casino Scope Out, then identify the vault contents through the security-camera feed. The other ten access-point photographs and eleven points of interest are optional, but completing them gives the planning board more entrance, exit and preparation information.
There are six access-point categories containing eleven photographable locations. The points of interest are separate: six are found around the Diamond Casino & Resort during Casino Scope Out, while five are identified through cameras during Vault Contents.
What You Need to Scope Out
Scope-out task | Requirement | What it provides |
|---|---|---|
Photograph the main entrance | Required | Completes the initial Casino Scope Out objective |
Identify the vault contents | Required | Reveals the target for the current heist |
Photograph the other ten access-point locations | Optional | Adds more entrance and exit options to the planning board |
Find six Casino Scope Out POIs | Optional | Records security features and planning aids, including the vault blueprints |
Find five Vault Contents camera POIs | Optional | Adds interior security and staff-area information |
The main entrance and vault contents are required. The remaining photographs provide additional planning options.
The Diamond Casino Heist can be planned as The Big Con, Aggressive or Silent and Sneaky. The access points and optional intelligence determine which routes and preparation choices are available for those approaches.1
The optional GTA$130,000 Casino Model marks the six access-point categories on the Arcade planning board, but it does not show the exact position of every door and tunnel. The screenshots below are enough to photograph all eleven locations without buying it.

|---|---|

Side Doors | 2 |
Roof Terrace | 4 |
Security Tunnel | 1 |
Sewer Tunnel | 1 |
Roof | 2 |
Total | 11 |
The six planning-board categories contain 11 photographable access-point locations.
Photograph the main entrance to satisfy the required Casino Scope Out objective. The remaining ten locations are optional, but each one expands the routes available when planning the finale.2
Main entrance
Stand outside the front of the casino and photograph the main glass entrance. This is the required photograph that advances the initial scope-out objective.
Staff Lobby side door
Face the main entrance, then follow the exterior wall around the right-hand side of the casino. Photograph the staff door marked by a keypad.
Waste Disposal side door
Follow the exterior wall around the left-hand side of the casino and photograph the Waste Disposal door.
Security Tunnel
Follow the driveway into the tunnel beneath the racetrack on the casino's eastern side. Photograph the large garage door at the end of the tunnel.
Sewer Tunnel
Cross the road from the casino and enter the storm drain. Continue into the tunnel until you reach the barred sewer grate, then photograph it.
Roof Terrace door behind the bar
On the Roof Terrace, go down the short stairs behind the outdoor bar and photograph the keypad door.
Roof Terrace door beside the pool
Photograph the keypad door beside the Roof Terrace swimming pool.
Lower Roof Terrace door
From the pool area, move down to the lower rear section of the terrace and photograph the first keypad door.
Rear Roof Terrace door
Continue around the rear terrace and photograph the second keypad door, which normally has a guard standing beside it.

Second helipad roof door
Move around the helipad and photograph the second roof door.
Diamond Casino points of interest
There are eleven points of interest, separate from the eleven access-point photographs. Six are photographed directly during Casino Scope Out. The other five are identified by panning through the security-camera feeds during Vault Contents.
Point-of-Interest Groups
Point-of-interest group | Locations |
|---|---|
Casino Scope Out photographs | 6 |
Vault Contents camera feeds | 5 |
Total | 11 |
Six points of interest are photographed around the casino and five are identified through camera feeds.
Casino Scope Out points of interest
These six photographs are taken while moving around the casino during the Casino Scope Out mission.
Older security camera
Photograph any of the older rectangular security cameras around the casino exterior. They appear on both the roof and Roof Terrace; the screenshot shows one on the roof.
Security guard
Inside the casino, photograph the security guard stationed beside the elevator.
Dome security camera

Restricted Access keypad

Vault blueprints
The optional vault blueprints are on the desk in Agatha Baker's office inside the casino's management area. Access to this area requires a Master Penthouse. Photographing the blueprints unlocks the option to purchase the Arcade's Vault Door practice upgrade; neither the blueprints nor that upgrade is required to run the heist.
Valet
Photograph the valet stationed outside the casino's main entrance.
Vault Contents camera-feed points of interest
