11Vice City22Vice City is the primary urban center of Grand Theft Auto VI, located within Vice-Dale County in the state of Leonida. It is the GTA universe's version of Miami, returning to the series for the first time since Vice City Stories (2006). Unlike the 1980s-era Vice City of previous games, GTA VI depicts the city in the modern day.44Official Description66Rockstar's official GTA VI website, published alongside Trailer 2 in May 2025, describes Vice City under the tagline "Everything in Excess":88"We're a long way from the '80s, but Vice City is still the sun and fun capital of America. The glamour, hustle, and greed of America captured in a single city. Each neighborhood has something to offer, from the pastel art deco hotels and bright white sands of Ocean Beach, to the bustling panaderías of Little Cuba and the bootleg brands of the Tisha-Wocka flea market, out to the VC Port, the cruise ship capital of the world."1111This description establishes four named locations within Vice City (Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, the Tisha-Wocka flea market, and VC Port) and sets the tone for the city as a place defined by excess and contrast.1313Districts1515Vice City is divided into multiple distinct neighborhoods, each with its own visual identity, architecture, and population. The following have been confirmed through official materials and trailer footage.1717Ocean Beach1919The beachfront strip inspired by Miami's South Beach is the most visually iconic area of Vice City. Rockstar's description highlights "pastel art deco hotels and bright white sands." The area is lined with neon signs that light up at night. The beach is populated with sunbathers, volleyball players, and street performers. This area is the postcard image of Vice City.2121Little Cuba2323Inspired by Miami's Little Havana, this district features Latin American cultural influences. Rockstar specifically mentions "the bustling panaderías of Little Cuba" on the official website, pointing to bakeries and food culture as part of the neighborhood's identity. The area has family-owned businesses, street vendors, and a lively residential atmosphere contrasting with the tourist-focused beachfront.2525Tisha-Wocka2727The Tisha-Wocka flea market is named on Rockstar's official website, described as the home of "bootleg brands." The name is believed to be a fictional take on the real-world Opa-locka Indoor Flea Market in Opa-locka, Florida. Tisha-Wocka may also function as a neighborhood name beyond just the market itself. The area represents the more working-class, off-the-tourist-trail side of Vice City's economy.2929La Perle3131La Perle is a lower-income neighborhood with Haitian and Caribbean cultural influences, inspired by Miami's Little Haiti. The district has a grittier feel compared to the polished beach areas.3333Washington Beach and Venetian Islands3636Washington Beach is a residential and mixed-use area between the commercial beach strip and interior neighborhoods. The Venetian Islands are an upscale chain of islands connected by causeways, inspired by Miami's Venetian Islands and Star Island. Luxury homes and yachts are visible in these areas.3838Brickell and Wynwood Areas4040Trailer footage shows areas resembling Miami's Brickell financial district (high-rise towers, modern architecture) and the Wynwood arts district (murals, converted warehouses, trendy establishments). These represent the modern development side of Vice City.4242Landmarks4444VC Port4646Rockstar's official description calls VC Port "the cruise ship capital of the world." The port features container yards, cranes, industrial waterfront, and cruise ship terminals. It is visible in aerial trailer shots as a large commercial shipping and tourism hub.4848Vice City International Airport5050The city's main airport. Its control towers and radar installation are visible behind the Vice City welcome sign in Trailer 1, and highway signs in both trailers list it by name with the code VCI. Rockstar has not described its terminals or any gameplay role.5252Boobie Ike's Jack of Hearts5555Boobie Ike's strip club, the Jack of Hearts is a named location appearing in both trailers. It is also connected to Only Raw Records the music label Boobie runs with Dre'Quan Priest.5757Art Deco Hotel Strip5959A row of colorful Art Deco hotels along the Ocean Beach beachfront, directly inspired by Miami Beach's historic Art Deco district. The buildings are illuminated with neon at night, creating the signature Vice City skyline.6161Vice City Oceanarium6363An overhead highway sign in an in-game screenshot Rockstar posted on October 8, 2026 reads "Vice City / Oceanarium / ENTRANCE". As of October 13, 2026 it is the only official material known to name a Vice City Oceanarium. Rockstar has not shown or described the oceanarium, and the sign does not reveal where it is.6565Elevated Metro Rail6768An elevated rail system is visible in Trailer 2. At approximately the 0:45 mark, a blue and silver train runs along an elevated track above a street, and at 1:51 a train is seen departing a station. Rockstar has not named the rail system in Grand Theft Auto VI material. Whether players can ride the metro as transportation has not been confirmed.6970Enterable Buildings7172Stores, restaurants, bars, clubs, gyms, and other businesses are visible with detailed interiors in trailer footage. The Phil's Ammu-Nation commercial in Trailer 2 shows a gun store interior. The August 2026 Extended Look also showed gameplay inside an apartment block and a store. Community analysis has suggested hundreds of enterable locations across the city, though Rockstar has not confirmed an exact number. Aaron Garbut of Rockstar North said in a September 2026 magazine cover story that the number of interiors reached a critical mass, to the point that the buildings feel more real inside and out.7374Nightlife7576Vice City's nightlife is prominently featured in both trailers. Neon-lit streets, packed nightclubs, strip clubs, and bar scenes dominate the night footage. The city transforms after dark, with the Art Deco buildings and commercial strips illuminated in color. The Jack of Hearts and various unnamed clubs and bars are recurring settings.7778Additional Districts Seen in Trailer Footage7980Beyond the officially described areas, trailer footage reveals additional Vice City districts. Highway signs, building names, and visible landmarks in both Trailer 1 and Trailer 2 name a city that extends well beyond the core neighborhoods. Only names legible in official trailer footage or official screenshots are listed below; district names that circulate from the September 2022 leak are not treated as confirmed on this wiki, because leaked pre-production material is not a reliable guide to what ships.8182DistrictReal-World InspirationDescriptionStockyardWynwood, MiamiArts and culture hub with street murals and converted warehousesDowntownDowntown MiamiBusiness and financial center; home to Sahara Arena and Sinfrontera National BankCrosstownOvertown, MiamiWorking-class district near the Interstate 404/97 interchangeVenetian IslandsVenetian Islands, MiamiUpscale island neighborhood with luxury waterfront propertiesWashington BeachWashington Avenue, Miami BeachResidential and mixed-use beach-side district; named in the Ultimate Edition copy as the docking point for the edition's Shitzu Squalo boatHamletUnknownTown named on a Keys Causeway sign in Trailer 2; not confirmed to be in Vice-Dale CountyVice BeachMiami BeachBarrier island beach area containing Ocean Beach and Washington Beach; the Vice Beach Police Department livery in official screenshots establishes the name8384Transportation8485Vice City's transport network is only partly shown. An elevated rail line, covered on the Vice City Metro page, appears in Trailer 2, though its route has not been shown. Interstate 97 (I-97) and Interstate 404 (I-404) meet at an interchange at Crosstown, and road signs on them name destinations elsewhere in the State of Leonida. Vice City International Airport is signposted from the highways, though Rockstar has not shown where it sits. Together, these systems offer players multiple ways to traverse the map, whether by rail, highway, or air travel.8687The same October 2026 screenshot shows two more overhead signs on the elevated highway: one reads "South Vice City" with an airport symbol, and the other reads "Keys Causeway" and lists "Key Lento" and "Leonida Keys". Rockstar has not said whether South Vice City on the sign is the same area as the Southside Vice City named in the edition copy.8889Named in Official Edition Descriptions9091Three further Vice City proper nouns appear in the official product descriptions for the game's editions, without having been shown in a trailer. All three are named in the copy describing Ultimate Edition content.9293NameWhat the Description SaysShore DriveA road the '95 Grotti Cheetah is described as an ode to, tying the car's retro-futuristic styling to the street.
