Vice City was one of the cities available in Grand Theft Auto 1 as well as being the main setting for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It is referenced extensively throughout the GTA III Era as well as being mentioned in Grand Theft Auto IV. The city is is based on the real world location of Miami, Florida. There are rumors that Vice City will be the setting for the next GTA game, then again it may also be in San Andreas, but this has not been confirmed by Rockstar yet.

Logical inference

GTA 1 had three cities: Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas. The GTA III era's (main) games took place in the these cities in the same order. GTA IV took place in Liberty City, so some have speculated that the next location for a fourth-era game will be Vice City.

Revision Rumours

It is rumoured that if Vice City is the next city for the GTA IV era, the city will be renovated and redesigned, much in the way Liberty City was for GTA IV. Basically, the city will be more heavily influenced on present day Miami with more notable bureaus and landmarks.
