Two restaurants from Grand Theft Auto VI's "Vice City" can now be found in Miami.
Visitors to the Kaseya Center, home of the Miami Heat, can purchase food from "Cluckin' Bell" and "Burger Shot," both restaurants featured in the game's fictional setting. According to the Kaseya Center and the Miami Heat, the restaurants will be available for a "limited time."
According to a post by Skinny Louie, all the burger spot's Florida locations, including the one within the Kaseya Center, will be transformed into Burger Shots "from early November through December 31," with items "available in-store and for delivery."
GTA VI, scheduled for a November release, is set in the imaginary Vice City, which is heavily inspired by Miami. The pop-up restaurants aren't
the first pieces of marketing to appear in the area — Miami-Dade County officials previously met with "representatives" of Rockstar Games, the game’s developer, and entered into an agreement to install a sign reading "Welcome to Vice City" on the roof of the Kaseya Center.

'Vice City' sign atop Miami's Kaseya Center
A Vice City marketing push has begun in Miami, with a sign welcoming visitors to the fictional setting of Grand Theft Auto VI now sitting atop the Kaseya Center.
During Miami-Dade County's second budget hearing, Christopher Hudtwalcker, the mayor's chief of staff, announced that the "administration has entered into a joint marketing agreement" with "representatives and representation from Rockstar Games."
"It was a joint agreement between the Heat, Kaseya, the county and, essentially, Rockstar," Hudtwalcker added.
Commissioner Natalie Milian Orbis said she was surprised that the Miami Herald, which reported on the marketing deal, "knows that Miami-Dade County administrators met with GTA executives to discuss possible advertising campaigns, including Miami International Airport pretending to be Vice City Airport, wrapping a Metro Mover train and manhole covers in Miami-Dade County," and that she would have "appreciated more information."
However, Hudtwalcker said the "only agreement that's been signed is with the Heat arena," and that the county has "received the contribution" of "under a million dollars."
When day will GTA 6 come out?
According to Rockstar Games, GTA VI will be released on Nov. 19.
