While it is not possible to locate all the areas shown in the GTA 6 trailer before the full game’s release, YouTuber Joel Franco tried to show the popular locations that Rockstar Games depicted. They first displayed the West Venetian Causeway Bridge that the trailer showed in an aerial shot.

Rockstar Games depicted the area almost as it is and also included minor details like the separate bike lane, tennis court, parking lot, etc. However, the length of the bridge has been shortened to match the in-game settings.

Next, the YouTuber showed the MacArthur Causeway, where a girl, who is believed to be Lucia, the GTA 6 protagonist, was seen standing in a convertible car. The trailer video showed that the highway connects to the in-game airport, which is also the case in real life.

Rockstar depicted the Ocean Drive in the Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal video. The actual area is also full of neon lights and hotels and has the same vibe as the video game. Joel also showed the Hotel Victor building, which is portrayed as Hotel Dixon in the game.
