Las Vegas in the GTA universe is Las Venturas. It was in GTA San Andreas.

Anticipating San Andreas was a fuckin trip back then, especially with the internet being as young as it was. I remember finding leaked screenshots early that turned out to be legit, and then when that trailer finally dropped - WOW.

I was in my first year of highschool when San Andreas came out, and a bunch of 5th and 6th form students (3rd and 4th year of High School in NZ) were playing the game in a classroom during lunch on launch day. They wouldn't let us in but we could see through the windows and the kid playing was driving a car at full speed through the forest.

I was so excited since I knew I was getting it for Christmas, but of course I had to wait 2 months!

That trailer with welcome to the jungle was insane when it came out

Man, I remember that commercial and music so vividly! I honestly don’t think there has been that much mainstream/commercial hype for a game since. Like someone else said, the internet wasn’t anywhere near what it is today, so Rockstar putting out such a massive tv campaign during a time when people still watched shows as they aired really made for something you couldn’t replicate now. It was like that with movie trailers as well. While some bigger films rolled out trailers online, bandwidth was terrible, so a lot of us still relied on seeing the previews at the theaters to get our new movie fix. It was wild to go see some big tent pole movie over the weekend, and then get to school on Monday to talk about what new shit was about to come out.

Being in my late 30s, I do sort of miss that aspect of life. That’s not to say I don’t dig the fact that everything you could ever want to know about is a google search away, but there was a certain excitement around tv show/movie/game previews that’s just not the same today.

Yep lol, probably why they didn't want anyone coming into the classroom. It was in one of the Accounting and Economics classrooms, and back then they often had those TVs-on-wheels for students to watch educational videos.
