The weather is only getting hotter and aside from heading out to see Thor: Love and Thunder - and possibly a few amazing outdoor tastings in New York City - in the coming days, there’s no better way to stay cool than chilling indoors and clocking in endless Grand Theft Auto Online hours. So it’s only right we take a look at everything going down in the best open world game out right now.

From Casino Work offering up big payouts to summer deals on fits, it’s all about non-stop fun this week.

Utilize Your Arcade Property to Case The Diamond Casino & Resort

Plus, Help Ms. Agatha Baker with Casino Work Missions, Get Double Rewards on Open Wheel Races, and More

Agatha Baker may be trying to keep things on the hush-hush, but Casino staff keep grumbling about working overtime overseeing new deliveries of diamonds to the vault.

If you’re going to exploit this opportunity, you’ll need to make use of an Arcade property — and its unique basement setup — for rehearsing a score this big. Plus, there's the added bonus of an above-board gaming hall with an assortment of playable retro arcade cabinets available. All Arcade properties are 40% off on the Maze Bank Foreclosures in-game website through July 18.

3X GTA$ and RP on Casino Work, Plus Special GTA$ Bonuses

Speaking of Ms. Baker, calling her up and requesting Casino Work missions will be rewarding in its own right this week: completingHouse Keeping will land you a bonus of GTA$100K, while finishing Cashing Out will land you a bonus of GTA$200K.  Also completing one of Agatha's off-the-books Casino Work assignments will land you an additional GTA$200K upon completion (delivered within 72 hours of completion).

Hao’s Premium Test Ride: Pfister Astron Custom
Hao and his team of gearheads are all about pushing vehicles beyond the limits of their usual performance.

2X GTA$ and RP on Overtime Shootout

They don’t teach you how to take turns flinging a sports car off a ramp and parachuting onto tiny platforms hundreds of yards away — but they should, because that’s the name of the game in Overtime Shootout. Whether you successfully thread the needle or end up missing your target, both teams will earn 2X Rewards for playing this week.

This Week’s Prize Ride: Übermacht Zion Classic
Racers who place in the Top 5 in LS Car Meet Races for three days in a row this week will earn the Übermacht Zion Classic, a tasteful throwback to ‘80s excess, like a wide-lapeled leisure suit with wheels.

Test Out the Progen Emerus, Truffade Thrax, and Vysser Neo
Do you suffer from buyer’s anxiety? Experiment with exposure therapy this week by trying the Progen Emerus, Truffade Thrax, and Vysser Neo out for size on the LS Car Meet’s Test Track. Put the pedal to the metal in competitive Scrambles or high-speed Time Trials to see how the wheel feels in your hands — all at no personal cost.

This Week on The Casino Podium: The Dinka Sugoi
Take a leisurely stroll through the lobby of The Diamond Casino & Resort to spin the Lucky Wheel and walk away with GTA$, RP, clothing and accessories, and more. This week’s top prize on the podium is none other than the Dinka Sugoi, an import that can shift from a casual Sunday morning soccer practice pick-up to a dangerous midnight sprint in the blink of an eye.
