Briefing

Say goodbye to the Spy Museum’s Exquisitely Evil exhibit with George Lazenby, the 007 star of "On Her Majesty’s Secret Service" (1969). Join the youngest Bond ever for cocktails after hours in the Museum on Global James Bond Day! He’ll share his favorite memories of tangling with Blofeld while mingling with guests.




Real spies will also be on hand to keep it real, while you take a last look at fantastic collection of Bond movie props and prepare to pepper Lazenby with the tough questions: like which was his favorite Angel of Death and did he really ski the Swiss Alps?

Come as your favorite Bond villain: was it Irma Blunt? Or give Lazenby a run for the money and sport a tux or kilt. Or can you pull off lace pants like his ill-fated bride Tracy di Vicenzo? Prizes will be awarded for the best Bond costumes. This is your chance to party like it’s 1969!

*Your ticket includes two drinks, light snacks, after hours Museum access.

In Memoriam: Hugh Hefner

007 Travelers is sad to hear about the death of Hugh Marston Hefner 

Born: 9 April 1926
Died: 27 September 2017

Photo © LasVegasWeekly.com

Hefner was an American magazine publisher, editor, businessman, and playboy. He was best known as the editor-in-chief and publisher of Playboy magazine, which he founded in 1953. He was also the founder and chief creative officer of Playboy Enterprises, the publishing group that operates the magazine. A multi-millionaire, his net worth at the time of his death was over $43 million due to his success as the founder of Playboy. Hefner was also a political activist and philanthropist active in several causes and public issues.

He appeared also in the world of James Bond. 007 met him in Raymond Benson's Bond short story "Midsummer Night's Doom" (1999).

" "Excuse me, Mr. Hefner," Lisa said, stepping up to the group.

He turner to her and beamed. "Lisa! he said, interrupting his conversation to give her a hug. "You look lovely."

"Thank you. May I introduce Mr. Bond?"

He held out his hand to Bond and said. "Hugh Hefner."

"Bond, James Bond." The handshake was firm and dry.

The founder and publisher of Playboy magazine looked fit and energetic, and seemed to be taller than Bond remembered. He carried himself with authority and dignity, yet he also exhibited characteristics of playfulness and good humour."

Raymond Benson: "Midsummer Night's Doom" (1999) 


Many Bond girls from the movies have been in the pages of Playboy magazine and Bond himself is a member of the London Playboy Club, which is revealed in "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971), where Bond (Sean Connery) has a member card.

In "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969) 007 (George Lazenby) reads February 1969 issue of Playboy magazine when he is in Bern, Switzerland.

"I am devastated to learn of Roger Moore's passing.

The first leading role I ever had as a Bond girl was such a new and frightening world and Roger held my hand and guided me through every process.

He taught me about work ethic and humility. He was so funny, kind and thoughtful to everyone around him and in that Roger taught me what a movie star really was and should be. 

Through his lifelong work with UNICEF he showed me the true meaning of being a humanitarian and giving back. He was my Bond."
Jane Seymour (Solitaire in "Live and Let Die", 1973)

"My Bond is gone, am filled with great sadness. Roger was the epitome of Bond, witty, sophisticated, elegant, funny. Rip."

He always had a joke to tell and was a pleasure to work with, he was a terrific guy."
