Vice City’s location borrows heavily from Brian De Palma’s Scarface (1983), specifically the fictional "El Fuerte" mansion. The player’s eventual safehouse—the Vercetti Estate—is located not in the city center but on a private island accessible only via a long causeway. This geographic isolation is a narrative reward; it symbolizes the player’s transcendence from street-level thug to cartel leader. However, the location also foreshadows paranoia: the long, sniper-exposed driveway and the surrounding water (which slows escape) reflect the theme that ultimate wealth leads to ultimate vulnerability.

Miami Vice City is home to numerous iconic landmarks, including:
