All Easter Eggs in GTA Vice City

Listed below is every known Easter Egg that we have found while exploring Vice City.

The Village People Make an Appearance

When visiting the Malibu Club, head towards the stage and you'll find a group of men dancing on the stage that closely resemble the Village People.

Shoot the Moon

When shooting at the moon with the likes of a Sniper Rifle, you'll see it change size in real-time -- just like GTA 3.

Apartment 3C - Scarface Easter Egg

There's a Scarface easter egg in the form of a bloody bathroom and a chainsaw weapon. Go to the Pay N' Spray at Ocean beach, then go south and take the first left. On your left, you'll see a two-story apartment with two sets of stairs on the second floor.

Head up the stairs to the right and you'll see a black doorway. Check out the bathroom in apartment 3c and compare it to the movie.

The Literal Easter Egg, Easter Egg

In order to find the infamous Easter Egg secret, make your way to the northern area of the west island of Vice City and look for the 8-10 VCN (News) Building -- the news building is by the northern bridge entrance on the west island. To access the roof of the building, enter the building from the door at the ground floor and you'll find yourself on the roof.

Not only will you find a flashy news chopper but you'll also gain access to a rather strange Easter Egg. When reaching the roof, look for the large cream-colored building nearby and locate the window closest to the Heliport -- it'll have its lights turned on.

With a running start, sprint towards the edge and attempt to jump into the window -- it sounds weird, but trust us. Warping straight through the wall, you'll find yourself inside a small room that's essentially empty, apart from a literal Easter Egg that's found sitting on top of a stand in the middle of the room.

He Sleeps With the Fishes

Just slightly northeast of Lasslo's office, you'll find a man beneath the water that has been drowned due to having concreted feet -- this is known as a typical mafia-style killing. While you may be able to catch a glimpse of the body from land, you'll have a much better chance at seeing this Easter Egg when using a boat (or a car with cheats activated).

Get a boat... and go between The "Leaf Links" Golf club and the third island. Go up to the rock and stop your boat get the sniper rifle in the cheat and look down on the rocks you will see a man in boxers with concrete on his feet.

Sharks

It's probably for the best that there is no way to swim in GTA Vice City, as not too far south of the mafia-style death of the man with concrete feet, you'll find two very large sharks in the water.

An Interesting Lighting Pattern

At night time, you'll find a rather interesting lighting pattern that will appear on the front of the large hotel that's located directly across from the Malibu Club.

Rockstar Logo's Make an Appearance

When exploring Starfish Island, you'll discover a pool in the shape of a Rockstar logo. Furthermore, just North of this estate, you'll find another pool that's shaped like a lady's torso.

Continuing with the Rockstar logo theme, you'll also find Rockstar logos along the walls of a large drain way in Little Haiti, as well as large billboards not too from the nearby Weapon and Tool store.

A Mysterious Sunken Submarine

Located off the northern coast of the east island of Vice City, you'll find a brief glimpse of the sunken submarine that has been left to decay in the middle of the ocean.

Beach Ball

When exploring Starfish Island, head to the first house on the right when crossing the bridge from the west island and you'll find an empty pool in the backyard that has a beach ball inside it. When you run into the beach ball, it'll begin to bounce. If you bounce it on your head, numbers will begin to appear. Need a tip for keeping the ball up in the air? You'll want to always be in the shadow of the ball.

All Secrets, Glitches, and Helpful Tricks

While there's plenty of Easter Eggs to find throughout Vice City, you'll also be surprised at the sheer amount of secrets, unpatched glitches, and helpful tricks that the game doesn't mention.

Rob the El Banco Corrupto Grande Bank for Some Easy Cash

After you've completed the Malibu mission The Job, you can rob El Banco Corrupto Grande for some easy money. Simply walk in and turn right up the stairs -- which will earn you a four-star wanted level.

Now, continue following the path and walk into the manager's office to grab one-third of the cash. You can find the remaining cash inside the room with the elevator, towards the right side of the room. Once you've collected all the cash, jump off the balcony and you'll be free from the building. To shake the cops, you can turn left to the nearby Pay N' Spray. While it may not be a whole ton of cash, it's easy money that doesn't take too much time to get.

Ammo Trick

If you pick up the regular shotgun at your hideout (from starfish island) and then go out and find the Spas or Benelli Shotgun in the city, your 50 shells from the regular shotgun will be transferred to the new upgraded gun you picked up. If you were to pick up the upgraded shotgun without doing this you would only receive 20 or so shells but this way you get approximately 70. This trick works with other guns also that share similar bullets.

Bullet-Proof Cars

Activate the Guardian Angels mission (from Colonel Cortez), and kill the Haitian gang members. The Admiral is the white car Diaz drives in the cut-scene. Deliberately fail the mission by killing Diaz, Lance, or letting the Haitian biker escape with Diaz's money.

Once the mission fails, the Admirals doors will be unlocked and you can drive it back to the garage of your choice. Naturally, you will need to purchase property that has a garage first.

Enter Golf Course Without Losing Your Weapons

Here is a way to enter the golf course without having your weapons get confiscated. First, take the Comet nearby and drive it next to the fence. Get out and jump onto the car. Jump onto the fence, and then jump onto the second fence at a diagonal angle and drop down past it. You will make it into the golf course with all your weapons. This trick can be useful for the "Four Iron" mission.

Free Money From Parking Meters

Drive over parking meters to empty cash into the streets. It's free money!

Instant Health Power-Up

This trick worked in GTA III as well. Simply drive up to a hooker and pick her up. Once she's inside your car, drive to a quiet spot and let the magic happen. The car will start rocking, and your "health" will grow from 100 to 125. While the extra boost of health will come in handy, it won't be cheap though, so make sure you have some spare cash around. Do note, this health boost only works until the next time you die.
