GTA VI Comes to Miami: Club Space Becomes The Vault and E11EVEN Turns Into NINE1NINE

Club Space becomes GTA VI's fictional club The Vault from 20 to 22 November 2026, with Chris Lorenzo, Sammy Virji and a CircoLoco Records finale, while E11EVEN runs as NINE1NINE.

Grand Theft Auto VI lands on 19 November, and two Miami nightclubs are turning into the game’s own Vice City venues around it. Club Space, the downtown institution that inspired GTA VI’s fictional club The Vault, becomes The Vault for three nights from Friday 20 to Sunday 22 November, closing with a CircoLoco Records party. Across the street, E11EVEN Miami has been running as NINE1NINE, “Vice City’s sexiest nightclub”, since 6 November. Neither takeover is an official Rockstar Games event.

Club Space teased the switch on 4 November by swapping its exterior banner for one reading “The Vault”, with the caption “Vice City’s newest mission is loading.” The link between the two places is not new: The Vault first appeared in Rockstar’s 2023 reveal trailer, and a Club Space representative later told Resident Advisor that the in-game club was modelled on the Miami venue. The finale is the most telling part. CircoLoco Records is the label that Ibiza’s CircoLoco and Rockstar Games set up together in 2021, and on 6 November CircoLoco posted a GTA-style illustration with the line “The Future in Vice City is unpredictable.”

NINE1NINE at E11EVEN

E11EVEN went first. The 24-hour club on NE 11th Street became NINE1NINE on Friday 6 November, opening with a live set from Flo Rida that doubled as managing partner Gino LoPinto’s birthday. Its promo trailer features a GTA VI car and artwork of the game’s leads, Jason and Lucia. The month-long takeover has a second date in the diary: a GTA VI launch party on Friday 20 November, the same night The Vault opens a short walk away. Like Club Space, E11EVEN is doing this on its own initiative rather than as part of Rockstar’s campaign.

Why Club Space, and why now

For anyone who has done Miami Music Week, the choice makes sense. Club Space is the city’s after-hours landmark, famous for its terrace and for sets that run well into Sunday daylight, and its booking leans towards exactly the house and techno names on the CircoLoco bill. GTA VI is set in the fictional state of Leonida, with Vice City as its Miami stand-in, so the overlap between the game map and the real dancefloor is deliberate rather than accidental.

It also fits a bigger pattern of electronic music circling this release. Justice composed the score, which follows on 11 December (our guide to the GTA VI Original Score has the formats and the Gesaffelstein track), while Fred again.., Jayda G and others appear on the separate album covered in our GTA 6 soundtrack piece. In October, the rumour site Has It Leaked also claimed that Rockstar had first pitched a one-off reunion to Daft Punk, with Justice as the second choice; neither side has commented. The duo’s early years are on show in Paris the same weekend, see our report on the Daft Punk Around the World exhibition.

The TA view

Video game launches usually stay on screens and in shop queues. This one has crossed into club culture, and it did not take Rockstar’s marketing budget to get there: the clubs did it themselves because the game borrowed from them first. If you are in Miami that weekend, Sunday’s CircoLoco Records night is the one to plan around, as it is the only part of the run with a direct line back to Rockstar. For everything else happening in the city that week, see our Miami events listings and US club guide.
