The Forelli family from GTA 3 is given a better back story in Vice City as a Family Tommy Vercetti works for. There is a little game Tommy can do where he has to keep bouncing a beachball up. If you get a sniper rifle you can shoot seagulls into a pile of feathers. If you get a boat into the ocean you can see sharks. Also, on top of the VCPR news building, next the helicopter, there is an a wall shown as a window, which if jump at, you can enter and view an actual Chocolate Egg surrounded by party favors that reads: "Happy Easter!"

The Brown suitcase from GTA Vice City and San Andreas make another reappearance. Toni is called fido by Maria as a reference to claude from GTA 3

'Hello Again.' and 'You Can't just get enough of this Alley can you?' sign
In GTA3 there was sign in an alleyway telling you that you weren't meant to get there. This time the sign's changed to say 'Hello again.' On the PS2 version of LCS, the sign says 'You just can't get enough of this Alley can you?'

Father Ned
Throughout the game there are several references to many popular British TV shows. One such reference is in the name of Father Ned, the reverand who you recieve missions from in the church. His name sounds very similar to the TV show with the name Father Ted

Claude's outfit of a Leather jacket, Green jeans and blue sneakers can be worn by Niko if you kill Playboy X in the mission 'The Holland Play'. You also recieve his apartment as a safehouse (NOTE: You can only wear Claude's outfit when changing at Playboy X's apartment.)

If you enter the apartments in either East or North North Holland, you can see graffiti that says R.I.P to all of the main protagonists of previous Grand Theft Auto titles.

A rundown house appears in game as Phil Bell's nephew's house which looks almost like the Gentlemen's Club from GTA III.

The Cheat activator from GTA 2 is referenced as "Gouranga'd" when you kill or get killed in multiplayer. Originally, "Gouranga" was to run over a row of hare-krishnas in the original Grand Theft Auto.
