How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A large hotel building in Downtown Vice City that appears in both Vice City games.
The real place
The Miami Herald's headquarters at One Herald Plaza on Biscayne Bay opened in 1963 and housed the paper until 2013. It was demolished in 2014 after the land was sold to Genting, and the game's hotel appears to reuse the building's distinctive shape.
Visiting
The building is gone and the bayfront site has been empty for years, so there is little to see. You can view the site from Biscayne Boulevard or the western end of the Venetian Causeway.
