| |
| *Las Venturas had a different name by the initials "LG". In early screen shots of Las Venturas, Police Cars had the initials "LG" printed on their doors.
| |
| *Santa Flora Medical Center had 2 helipads on its roof. These pads were most likely meant for the Maverick and Raindance that spawn there in the alpha. Oddly enough, these helipads were absent in the alpha, so the choppers simply spawned on the roof.

| |
| '''Weapons'''
| |
| *The [[Skateboard]] was cut from the final game (its icon is still on the disk, and it can still be used but only as a weapon). | |

| *The ability to drink beer was cut from the alpha version
| |
| *Through the hidden interiors universe unused Brothels can be found, these were most likely to be placed on top of Strip Clubs.
| |
| *Pre-release magazine articles showed that stealing cars was to be much more difficult. In early screen shots, car jacking was shown to involve smashing the car's window and then hot wiring it.
