How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Rockstar's Vice City description points to the pastel art deco hotels and bright white sands of Ocean Beach, and the trailers show its beachfront and neon-lit hotel strip.
The real place
Lummus Park runs along the east side of Ocean Drive from 5th to 15th Street, facing one of the world's best-known groups of 1930s Art Deco and Streamline Moderne hotels. Axios and Miami New Times matched the trailer's opening beach shots to Lummus Park and the Ocean Drive hotels.
Visiting
Walk Ocean Drive between 5th and 15th Streets after dusk, when the hotel neon is lit. The beach and the park promenade are free and open to everyone.
