Vice-Dale County

County VC · Vice City

Vice-Dale County is the county anchoring the southeastern corner of Leonida in Grand Theft Auto VI, bordered by Kelly County to the west and Leonard County to the north and policed by the Vice-Dale Police Department. It is a rendition of Florida's Miami-Dade County, with the wiki suggesting the 'Dale' may nod to the Cuban exclamation '¡Dale!' popularized around Miami, most famously by the rapper Pitbull.

What Vice-Dale County is on the GTA 6 map

Vice-Dale County is the urban heart of Leonida — the densest, most-photographed corner of the state and the one nearly every GTA 6 trailer keeps returning to. Its seat is Vice City, Rockstar’s rebuilt Miami, and the county wraps the entire metro: the Art Deco beachfront, the downtown high-rises behind it, and the barrier islands and inland neighborhoods that feed the city. If a place in the marketing looked expensive, loud, or neon-lit, it almost certainly sits inside Vice-Dale.

The name is a straight nod to Florida’s Miami-Dade County, and the fit is exact: a coastal super-county built around one dominant city. Confirmed places rolling up under Vice-Dale so far include the neighborhoods of Ocean Beach, Stockyard, Southside, Tequesta, and Peacock Bay, the beach city of Vice Beach, and the smaller inland community of Hamlet. Expect this to be the most detailed county in the game by a wide margin.

County seat: Vice City. Real-world resemblance: Miami-Dade County, Florida — fan mapping, not officially confirmed by Rockstar.

Frequently asked questions

What is the county seat of Vice-Dale County?

Vice City. Vice-Dale County is built around it the way Miami-Dade is built around Miami — the surrounding beaches, barrier islands, and inland districts all fall inside the county line.

Is Vice Beach part of Vice-Dale County?

Yes. Vice Beach — Rockstar’s take on Miami Beach — sits across the water from downtown Vice City but inside the same county, along with beachfront neighborhoods like Ocean Beach and Leaf Links.

What real county is Vice-Dale County based on?

Miami-Dade County, Florida. The name splices “Vice” (Vice City / Miami) with “Dale” (Dade), and the geography — one big coastal city ringed by beaches and suburbs — matches closely. Rockstar has never published an official real-world map, so treat it as a strong resemblance, not a confirmed fact.
