Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell stands open at Miami's Kaseya Center

GTA's long-running fast food parodies, Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell, have turned up as working food stands inside Miami's Kaseya Center, the Miami Heat's home arena, according to reports from IGN, Video Games Chronicle and Dexerto. It is the latest piece of Rockstar's real-world marketing in Miami ahead of Grand Theft Auto VI's release on November 19.

What we know

• Fan posts on X first surfaced images of the stands, IGN reports. Dexerto says existing arena food outlets were converted rather than new ones built.
• Burger Shot is reportedly a rebranded Skinny Louie's, with staff in GTA VI-branded uniforms, according to VGC and Dexerto.
• Dexerto says posts indicate the stands are serving food. One fan claimed a burger, fries and drink came to more than $37.
• IGN notes Vice City posters have also appeared inside the venue, and that a neon "Welcome to Vice City" sign on top of the arena cost $975,000.
• On November 18, the night before launch, the Heat will play as "Vice City" in new uniforms on a GTA-themed court, an event VGC says Rockstar has called "A Night In Vice City".
• VGC lists other promotions spotted around the city: a branded blimp, murals, Vice City branding on buses and taxis, beach umbrellas and loungers, and ads for in-game brands such as Weazel News and Vault Nightclub.
• Label filings by Florida-based Tripping Animals Brewing for Pißwasser, Patriot and a Vice City lager suggest real versions of the game's beers are planned, VGC reports.

GTA VI launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19.

What isn't confirmed yet

• Whether the menus are themed after the game. IGN thinks a themed menu seems unlikely.
• How long the stands will stay after the campaign ends. Dexerto says this is unclear.
• Whether Rockstar is shooting a live-action trailer. GabBoom-style speculation took off after an October 20 post from the account GTAVI_Rodion showed two wrapped supercars crossing a Miami bridge, with a caption claiming a separate video or trailer was being filmed. VGC and IGN also mention camera crews alongside GTA-branded cars.

GTABoom points out that the footage could just as easily be for social clips, a TV spot or general campaign material. It adds that Rockstar's only official live-action trailer was for GTA II, and that its GTA VI trailers so far, including the October 15 launch trailer, used in-game footage. Rockstar has not commented.
