In GTA Vice City, the mansion starts of as [[Ricardo Diaz]]'s place of residence; as a result, the estate is known under Diaz's name and is considered [[Diaz's Gang]] territory, the only place where the gang may be seen. Over the course of the storyline, [[Tommy Vercetti]] and [[Lance Vance]] eventually [[Rub Out|launch an attack against Diaz]] at the mansion, killing Diaz and claiming the mansion as his own. Tommy promptly renames it the "Vercetti Estate", and Diaz's Gang ceases to exist as the mansion grounds is henceforth occupied by the [[Vercetti Gang|Vercetti gang]]. After Diaz's death, the mansion serves as a staging area for Tommy to tighten his grip on the city's businesses, eventually leading to the property earning the player [[Money|$]]5,000 a day.

The mansion is depicted in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]] to be undergoing renovations. Most significant is construction work on the mansion itself for a new west/left wing, while the mansion's rooftop has been modified to sport a smaller helipad as well as a relocated rooftop access.

*Apparently in GTA Vice City, completion of the Pizza Boy mission was supposed to reward a parked Pizza Boy at the [[Vercetti Estate]] but errors in coding prevented that from happenning.

The mansion is a parody of [[wp:Tony Montana|Tony Montana]]'s mansion in the famous 1983 movie [[wp:Scarface (1983 film)|Scarface]]. The interior lobby of the mansion is of the same design as Tony's mansion, except that Tommy's mansion sports a middle staircase rather than two side staircases; the "The World Is Yours" fountain - into which Montana falls after being killed - is also absent.

The office where the player saves their game also bears an uncanny resemblance to Tony Montana's office, down to the design of the desk, and the twelve security televisions to the right which depict portions of the Montana mansion (One picture is only a rear picture of his mansion (which is most likely from the climax of Scarface), but the other is of the inside of his mansion showing the one of the two side staircases and showing most of "The World Is Yours" fountain).
