Description

Layout

Floor layout of the mall. LEFT: First Floor, RIGHT: Second Floor.

The mall, when viewed overhead, is shaped like an "H." Its one of largest indoor malls in the Grand Theft Auto series. A massive atrium bisected by a large pedestrian bridge with a large number of businesses along the edge of the floorspace. Most of these businesses inside of the mall can't be accessed. The mall comes equipped with working escalators, as well as a adjoining miltistory carpark and six street level entrances.

Businesses

Businesses inside the mall range from food and clothes to firearms and record stores. In the events of GTA Vice City, there are two weapon stores inside of the mall, one for firearms and one for melee weapons. The latter doesn't appear in 1984. These reasons are unknown. The food court in the mall can be used by the player if their health is below their max health limit.

The Infernus on display at the mall.

In GTA Vice City, an Infernus can be seen on display at the north end of the mall, intended as a prize from the mall's annual charity raffles. The raffle can't be entered but the player can steal the car, attracting police attention in the process.

In Vice City Stories, the mall is the only place that a red balloon is located within an accessible place. A rampage is also available, as well as a side-mission called Mashin' Up The Mall.
