Briefing:
It’s over, 47. I’m closing shop on this end. This will be your last assignment. There are two targets. Vaana Ketlyn, a former Romanian circus performer who’s now a big player in the global gray market, and a CIA operative who’s been playing both sides of the fence. Ketlyn’s hosting a masquerade party at the Shark Club, in Vegas, and the CIA op’ll be there to close a deal. Even if this job isn’t a set-up, your presence will almost definitely be expected. You’re our only surviving agent, 47. Find out whoever it is that’s been coming after us. Eliminate both targets - and anyone that targets you - and exit in the vehicle I’ll have ready for you in the parking garage. You’ve been a very effective agent. It’s been pleasant to work with you. I hope the future is kind to you.
Objectives:
- Kill Vaana Ketlyn.
- Kill Anthony Martinez.
- Retrieve the data from computer.
- Kill Eve.
- Kill Maynard John.

By far one of my favorite levels/maps in the entire series.
I loved how creative A Dance with the Devil was. The Heaven and Hell theme was awesome — having Club Heaven at the top of the building while Club Hell was in the basement was a nice touch. I also was fond of the elevators (I noticed the Club Heaven elevator seemed more calming, while the Club Hell elevator looked like one straight out of Silent Hill).
This level also had, perhaps, one of my favorite suits/disguises to date — The Devil’s Own. I was fascinated by it back then, and I am still as equally fascinated with it now as well. Very happy we get an updated version in WoA.
Lastly — Slasher by Institute for the Criminally Insane has been on my playlist loop for years now. Such a great song.

It’s definitely the most stylish level in the whole game. All of the targets are unique and recognizable, and I loved how some of the targets actually recognize 47 and try to kill him. The ambience of both heaven and hell fits the locations perfectly. It’s amazing how this was pulled off, as it’s pretty different from the other levels.

One thing I find so strange is that on the ground floor, the sky looks dark like it takes place in the evening. But in the heaven club, there is a bright sunset

This was my second favorite mission from Blood Money, the first being A House of Cards. My preferred method is to leave my i silenced Silverballer in the storage box outside security, then go up to the Heaven party, wait for Martinez to go to the bathroom and use a poison syringe on him there, hide him in the stall and take his suit and briefcase.
I then go to the kitchen to get a cleaver, head to the side room and wait for Eve to go in there, I let her finish her phone call, then use the cleaver on the back of her head.
I then head down to the Hell party, grabbing my Silverballer along the way, and rig the pyrotechnics for Vaana, and wait for her act. I love how you can’t tell what kills her because of the extremely over-the-top way it plays out; she either dies from her burns, drowns in the tank, or if she’s still clinging on by then, albeit unconscious, the shark finishes the job. Who knows and who cares, it’s cool as… Hell!
Then I challenge Maynard to a duel in the torture chamber and put a round in his head. Reclaim my suit from the parking lot and head out.
Absolutely love it!

Killing Maynard John is the big pain in the ass on profesion and expert dificulty, On other dificulties just place a mine at his worck place and that´s it.

Catching the CIA dork in the bathroom every time like
Guy says he wants to have some kind of honourable duel then he turns around with this:
Kill Anthony Martinez first and use his FN-2000, saves a little headache 
This map is challenging
Bring a silenced pistol or submachinegun
I first go to the security desk and request my non-existent luggage, follow the guard into the back room, sedate him and take his uniform. Run into the surveillance area and grab the tape when guards heads are turned away and then run into parking lot and all the way towards the locked door near the camera and the man throwing up. Pick the lock when nobody is looking and run down the stairs. You never really can tell when Hell security will show up so just scout the area carefully and when you see an opening sedate one of the guards, grab their uniform and hide their body. Now run to the controls for the fire effects and sabotage them making sure no guard sees you in the process. You won’t have to worry about Vaana anymore.
Now either fight Maynard if you have a decent weapon or you can run to the elevator and jump up on top of it and wait a little while for Martinez to come down to the Hell area, strangle him from above, and take his suit and FN 2000 THEN fight Maynard.
Once Maynard and Martinez are taken care of, go up to the top floor aka ‘Heaven’ area and go into the office area closet and wait for Eve to walk into the room. Wait until she’s all the way towards the window past the desk and take aim at her head with a silenced weapon and try to take her out as quickly as possible with accurate head shots as her melee attacks are quite vicious.
Once she’s dead, head back down the the main entrance area where you sedated the guard and retrieve your suit, careful not to let the other security guard see the body. Go down the stairs in the main lobby and back into the parking area and try to be stealthy past the patrolling guard when you get to the escape vehicle.
Voila, Silent Assassin on a pretty tough map.
If anyone here is into some serious masochism, Eve’s your girl!
