What's Actually Up
As of November 4, 2026, 32 GTA VI installations are up downtown, from the Kaseya Center roof sign to fake-brand billboards on Biscayne Blvd. Our tracker lists every one. This route takes you past the arena block and pairs it with the GTA VI landmarks around it.
The route itself costs nothing: every stop can be seen from the street or plaza at no cost. The arena, the museum and the arts center need a ticket to go inside, and the Metromover is free to ride.
The sign sits on Biscayne Boulevard, which GTA VI calls Catalan Boulevard. The same stretch holds a run of places from the trailers and screenshots, so this route pairs the sign with them. The stops go south to north, in street-number order.
Start at Bayside. Finish at the Metro Mule.

Six Stops, South to North

Bayside Marketplace and Skyviews Miami Observation Wheel
In GTA VI: unnamed in official material · Strong match
Rockstar's night skyline screenshot of Vice City shows a Ferris wheel on a pier. Journalist Joel Franco, the GTA Wiki and GTADB match it to the Skyviews wheel here.
Bayfront Park next door is mapped by the GTADB community as "Shoreline Park?" (the question mark is theirs).
Videos from Oct. 24 and 25 show the real wheel lit purple and pink. Nobody has published who paid for it or whether it runs every night.
Our Downtown Heat convoy starts here and walks the Bayfront Park promenade.

Kaseya Center
In GTA VI: Sahara Arena · Strong match
Start with the roof: pink-and-white "Welcome to Vice City" letters, lifted into place by helicopter on Sept 22. Four fake-brand billboards stand across Biscayne Blvd, and the same script is on a stair wall and the light-pole banners outside the arena.
The finished sign was first shown lit on Oct 1. No nightly lighting schedule has been published.
Under terms reported by gHacks (the agreement itself is unpublished), the sign stays until about Sept 22, 2027.
In GTA VI the arena is Sahara Arena, home of the Vice City Narcos. The plaza and bayfront outside are public; the inside needs an event ticket.
Per Axios Miami (Oct 2), a Vice City clothing collection is already in the Heat team store. Our Downtown Heat route avoids Kaseya event nights because of garage use and closures.

Marquis Miami tower
In GTA VI: possibly The Celtica Hotel (unconfirmed name) · Strong match
The tower with the notched cutout in the Trailer 1 skyline. Exterior only: it holds The Grayson Hotel and residences.
1100 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132
-
Pérez Art Museum Miami
In GTA VI: no in-game name known · Probable match
Across the boulevard in Museum Park. Community mappers spot a clear rendition of the museum on the in-game bayfront. The match comes from community mapping only (GTA Wiki and GTADB), so it is rated a probable match.
1103 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132
-
Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts
In GTA VI: Vice City Arts Center · Strong match
Shown in an official screenshot, and called the Vice City Arts Center by the GTA Wiki: a performing-arts complex straddling Catalan Boulevard with a footbridge and an Art Deco tower. The real one kept the 1929 Sears building's tower.
1300 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132
-
Miami Metromover
In GTA VI: Vice City Metro Mule · Strong match
The blue-and-grey Vice City Metro Mule train in Trailer 2 is the Metromover. It is free to ride.
The county's Oct 28 package includes ads on its transit system. We have not seen any on the Metromover yet.
Adrienne Arsht Center Metromover station, NE 15th St, Miami, FL 33132
