Los Santos (HD Universe)


 * This article is about the city of Los Santos in GTA V. For the city in GTA San Andreas, see Los Santos (3D Universe).

Los Santos is a fictional city located in the southwestern United States in Los Santos County within the State of San Andreas in Grand Theft Auto V. GTA V is the city's 2nd appearance in the series after GTA SA. Los Santos is based on Los Angeles, California and its greater metropolitan area. Los Santos is Spanish for "The Saints", a play on "The Angels". Like its real-life counterpart of LA, Los Santos is a huge sprawling metropolis with a lot of cultures, the film-making industry and the hood life, just to name a couple. Not unlike Liberty City in GTA IV, the time and date of the city is present of the year the game was released.

GTA V's rendition of Los Santos is divided into the sections of North Los Santos, East Los Santos, West Los Santos and South Los Santos, in which beneath the sections the streets are divided into districts or neighborhoods, and one incorporated city.

The city is served by the Los Santos International Airport, which is one of the busiest airports in the world. Los Santos also has a extensive transit system.

The city was first revealed in the debut trailer of GTA V.
