The three cities in San Andreas, Los Santos, San Fiero, and Las Venturas, represent the real life cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas, respectively. All of the cities in San Andreas bear striking resemblance to their real-world counterparts (including rough street layout and district names) and contain numerous historic landmarks from each city. The name San Andreas itself is a reference to the San Andreas Fault, a continental fault line that runs through California.
