Expanded districts, added Brickell/Wynwood areas, updated enterable locations info
Vice 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.
Vice City is divided into multiple distinct neighborhoods, each with its own visual identity, architecture, and population. The following districts have been confirmed or strongly identified through official trailers and screenshots.
The beachfront strip inspired by Miami's South Beach is the most visually iconic area of Vice City. Art Deco hotels line the boulevard, with neon signs lighting up at night. The beach itself is populated with sunbathers, volleyball players, and street performers. This area serves as the postcard image of Vice City.
Inspired by Miami's Little Havana, this district features Latin American cultural influences, family-owned businesses, street food vendors, and a lively neighborhood atmosphere. The area has a different energy from the tourist-focused beachfront, feeling more like a residential community.
Returning from GTA: Vice City (2002), Little Haiti is a lower-income neighborhood with Haitian and Caribbean cultural influences. The district has a grittier feel compared to the polished beach areas.
Washington Beach is a residential and mixed-use area between the commercial beach strip and the 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.
Trailer 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.
Vice City International Airport: A full commercial airport with terminals and runways, visible in aerial trailer shots.
VC Port: A shipping port with container yards, cranes, and industrial waterfront.
Boobie Ike's Jack of Hearts: Boobie Ike's strip club, a named location appearing in both trailers.
Art Deco Hotel Strip: A row of colorful Art Deco hotels along the beachfront, directly inspired by Miami Beach's historic district.
GTA VI appears to feature a significantly higher number of enterable interior locations compared to previous entries. Stores, restaurants, bars, clubs, gyms, and other businesses are visible with detailed interiors in trailer footage. Community analysis has suggested hundreds of enterable locations across the city, though Rockstar has not confirmed an exact number.
Vice 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 vibrant colors.
Vice City first appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002), set in 1986 and starring Tommy Vercetti. It returned in Vice City Stories (2006), set in 1984. Both games captured Vice City during the 1980s cocaine trade era with a pastel-colored, synth-music aesthetic. GTA VI's modern-day Vice City retains the Art Deco architecture and beach culture but updates the world to reflect contemporary Miami, including social media culture, modern vehicles, and present-day fashion.
