Vice-Dale County

Where Vice City sits, GTA 6's Miami-Dade

Vice-Dale County is the county Rockstar's site places Vice City in, the game's version of Miami-Dade. The name only appears in passing, but the real county made news of its own in autumn 2026. Confirmed

The real county and the game

In September 2026 Miami-Dade County took $975,000 from Rockstar for a pink "Welcome to Vice City" sign on the roof of the Kaseya Center, in place until April 11, 2027. The county's own staff then pitched Rockstar on more: a "Vice City Airport" idea, wrapped Metromover trains and a PortMiami mural. By late October the county had announced a $3.9 million advertising package with Rockstar, while its sheriff issued a statement that Miami-Dade "is not Vice City". Confirmed

Vox's column on the row has the dates and figures. Confirmed
