HINTS
Go into the Malibu Club and take a gander at the stage. There, you'll find a reasonable facsimile of the Village People.

Shoot the Moon
The moon changes size when shot at with the Sniper Rifle, just like in GTA 3.
Dial the Numbers
Write down the phone numbers you hear on the radio commercials in the game. They all work! Here's a list:
1-866-PILLAGE
1-866-9-BURY ME
1-866-9-SAVE ME
1-866-9-SHADEE
1-866-434-SELF
Rob the Bank
After you've completed the Malibu mission "The Job", you can rob El Banco Corrupto Grande for some easy money. Walk in and turn right up the stairs. This will earn you a four star wanted level. Walk into the manager's office to get 1/3 of the cash. The rest is in the room with the elevator, on the right side. Then jump off the balcony and run out. To shake the cops, you can turn left to the nearby Pay N' Spray. It's not much, but it's easy cash.
Ammo Trick
If you pick up the regular shotgun at your hidout (from starfish island) and then go out and find the spas or benelli shotgun out in the city, your 50 shells from the regular shotgun will be transfered to the new upgraded gun you picked up. If you were to pick up the upgraded shotgun without doing this you would only recieve 20 or so shells but this way you get roughly 70. This trick works with other guns also that share simular bullets.
Bullet Proof Cars
Admiral. Also fire-proof, explosion-proof, and collision-proof. Activate the Guardian Angels mission (from Colonel Cortez), and kill the Haitian gang members. The Admiral is the white car Diaz drives in the cut-scene. Deliberately fail the mission by killing Diaz, Lance, or letting the Haitian biker escape with Diaz's money.
