While the guys attempt to see how many times they can check in as the same person but dressed in different costumes without being caught, Sal's first costume is an obvious Cruella De Vil reference. However, the name he gives the desk attendant, "Moira Rose," is a reference to Catherine O'Hara's character in "Schitt's Creek" by the same name, whom is also known for wearing extravagant and, often, comical looking wigs and clothing.
In the first challenge of the episode Sal dresses up as and pretends to be Post Malone. The Grammy-nominated rapper later appeared on the show as one of the special guests in season 10.
