Real Miami places in GTA 6 landmark by landmark

Short answer: Vice City is Rockstar’s version of Miami, and many buildings copy real ones closely. The clearest matches: Sahara Arena = Kaseya Center, Fleeca Field = loanDepot Park, NINE1NINE = E11EVEN nightclub, Heath Tower = Miami Tower and Galina Ballet Opera House = Adrienne Arsht Center. These pairs are fan comparisons from footage; Rockstar has only confirmed that it researched Miami for years and that 50+ real street artists painted murals for the game.
