The Los Santos Vagos are a Hispanic street gang that have been described as "extremely dangerous". They are the largest Hispanic street gang and the 2nd most powerful overall street gang in Los Santos in 1992 (after the Ballas). They are involved in drug trafficking/manufacturing (especially crack cocaine), gang-banging, gang warfare, murder, vandalism, protection and street violence. The Vagos are easily identifiable by their yellow bandanas, 90's "cholo" style clothing, and their many gang tattoo's. They are predominantly located in the far east and north of the city - within the poorer and more run-down neighborhoods of South Central Los Santos. | The Los Santos Vagos are a Hispanic street gang that have been described as "extremely dangerous".

They are fierce rivals of the other Los Santos Mexican gang, the Varrios Los Aztecas, and are also enemies with the Grove Street Families and the Ballas. They're affiliated with the San Fierro Rifa, who were former enemies until the Rifa joined the narcotics business. They briefly affiliate with the Ballas and the Russian Mafia to act as protection for Big Smoke's crack empire. | They are fierce rivals of the other Los Santos Mexican gang, the Varrios Los Aztecas, and are also enemies with the Grove Street Families and the Ballas.

The Vagos may also sometimes question CJ's gang-banging status, if the player chooses to respond positively - the Vagos will attack. | ||
The Vagos are known to be extremely violent and will often attack in very large groups from numerous directions in an attempt to swarm and flank their enemies as part of their strategy. Most of their territory consists of close-quarter areas with numerous alleyways and shortcuts which aids them to do this. The Vagos are involved in Gang-banging, robbery, street violence, murder, gang-related homicide, gang warfare, drug dealing/manufacturing (especially the crack cocaine trade), gun running/arms dealing, and vandalism. | The Vagos are known to be extremely violent and will often attack in very large groups from numerous directions in an attempt to swarm and flank their enemies as part of their strategy.

The Vagos appear to be the least armed gang in Los Santos, evidenced by the fact that members only carry the pistol. However, at the same time - they are one of the largest - and they use their size to their advantage. This contrasts to their primary enemy - the Varrios Los Aztecas, which function in the complete opposite way - they are the smallest but one of the most heavily armed. This puts the Aztecas and Vagos on equal footing in terms of power. However, the Vagos are equipped with better firepower during some missions and gang wars. Members are often seen drinking beer and smoking marijuana while hanging in groups or driving around their territory. Vagos will also often flash Vago gang handsigns. | The Vagos appear to be the least armed gang in Los Santos, evidenced by the fact that members only carry the pistol and Micro-SMG.

Interestingly, unlike the Afro-American gangs; the Vagos do not divide themselves into different sets. Instead, they operate as one large gang. | Interestingly, unlike the Afro-American gangs; the Vagos do not divide themselves into different sets. Instead, they operate as one large gang. | ||
