'''Big Smoke's Crack Palace''' is the home of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] character [[Big Smoke]] and is used as a crack palace by the [[Ballas]], [[Los Santos Vagos]] and the [[Russian Mafia]], and as a front to sell drugs around the city, mostly crack cocaine, hence the name, while their enemies, the [[Grove Street Families]] are disbanded, [[Ganton]] is owned by the [[Ballas]], [[Carl Johnson|Carl]] taken away by [[Frank Tenpenny]] and [[Eddie Pulaski]] and [[Sweet]] is imprisoned. The power of [[Big Smoke]] increases with the drug trade from the Crack Palace to all over [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]]. The building is located in [[East Los Santos in GTA III Era|East Los Santos]], [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]]. Big Smoke moves into the building sometime after [[Carl Johnson]] is forced to [[Green Sabre|leave]] Los Santos. The other front of Big Smoke's drug empire, second to the Crack Palace, is the yay factory in [[Doherty]], [[San Fierro]], destroyed by Carl Johnson in the mission [[Yay Ka-Boom-Boom]]. In the mission [[End of the Line]], Carl Johnson enters the building and kills [[Big Smoke]], before [[Frank Tenpenny]] destroys part of the building. The building can be accessed after the mission [[End of the Line]]. There are also [[Sprunk]] vending machines inside the crack palace. The statue that is in the picture, is how [[Big Smoke]] was actually going to be depicted as seen in the first trailer of San Andreas.

*After the mission [[King In Exile]], [[Cesar Vialpando|Cesar]] calls CJ and informs him that Big Smoke expands his business to [[San Fierro]] by sending a courier from the Crack Palace to deliver drugs there. If CJ responds positively, a mission starts and CJ has to kill the courier on his way to San Fierro. That depicts that Big Smoke had decided to move to the Crack Palace before [[The Green Sabre]], because [[King In Exile]] is made in a very short time after [[The Green Sabre]]. That can be explained, because in [[The Introduction]], in a conversation between [[Mike Toreno]] and [[T-Bone Mendez]], Toreno says that he found "[[Big Smoke|a buyer]]" from [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]], meaning that Big Smoke had ties to the [[Loco Syndicate]] before the game even started.
