Miami's Club Space turns into The Vault, GTA 6's nightclub, on launch weekend

Club Space, one of Miami's most famous nightclubs, will become The Vault, the GTA 6 nightclub, for three nights: from Friday 20 to Sunday 22 November, right after the game launches. The club announced it on Instagram with a "Club Space presents The Vault" poster, and so far there's only one name confirmed in the booth. Here's what we know, what's being rumoured and why this club is no random pick.

What has Club Space announced?

A whole weekend under a different name. The club has posted a poster and a short video on Instagram reading "Clubspace presents The Vault", the dates "11.20–11.22" and "Downtown Miami". The video shows a giant The Vault sign in white letters on a dark background, hanging on what looks like the club's façade.

What it hasn't said is how much will change inside: whether there'll be in-game décor, new visuals or just the sign. According to Miami New Times, the local paper that dug up the details, the club's calendar only has Friday 20 locked in, with Chris Lorenzo on the decks (ticket listings add Ms. Mada and Danyelino). Saturday and Sunday are still listed as "TBA".

Why Club Space and not another club?

Because, for many, it's already in the game. In the first trailer, around the 35-second mark, there's a packed nightclub with red curtains and a DJ in a lit-up booth. Resident Advisor, the go-to electronic music magazine, reported on the day the trailer dropped, in December 2023, that a source close to the venue had confirmed it was Space. Rockstar has never said so.

It's not just any club. It opened in 2000, holds a 24-hour liquor licence and is famous for sets that finish in broad daylight on The Terrace, its rooftop. A Vice City without a club like that would feel wrong.

What is The Vault in GTA 6?

A Vice City nightclub that Rockstar is already advertising in Miami as if it were real. In October, The Vault appeared on Wynwood's digital billboards alongside other in-game brands such as Weazel News and carmaker Pfister, according to Creative Bloq: they're the cheeky Vice City ads we've already covered. On 20 October it also showed up on a boat with a screen cruising the bay, with the tagline "Your secrets are safe with us", as a video shared on X shows.

There's a detail linking the two that you can spot at a glance. The boat ad features a gas mask covered in flowers, and the Club Space poster has, right under The Vault logo, the very same flower-covered gas mask. Neither Rockstar nor the club has said whether there's a deal between them, but the club's poster uses the visual identity Rockstar has been parading around Miami.

Will Justice play The Vault?

It's the question all over the comments, and the answer is that it isn't confirmed. The French duo wrote the original score for GTA 6, so it would be the cherry on top.

Is this the first real club to dress up as GTA 6?

No, and the other one is literally across the street. E11EVEN, the club many link to NINE1NINE, the venue from the first trailer with that "Why Sixty Nine When You Can Nine 1 Nine" banner plane, sits at 29 NE 11th Street, opposite Club Space at number 34. Back in 2023 it answered the trailer with its own banner plane over South Beach: "When Nine 1 Nine = E11even".

So a single block of Downtown Miami will have both Vice City nightclubs in launch week. And that's not all: on 18 November the Heat play A Night in Vice City a few streets away, in an arena that's already serving Burger Shot burgers. Anyone in Miami that weekend will struggle to tell the game from the street.
