Talk:Mile High Club

Wilshire Grand Tower
Could the Mile High Club actually be based on the Wilshire Grand Center? It is currently being built in LA, and is going to be the tallest building on the West Coast. Seems more likely to me than what the article currently says. Jnzooger (talk) 02:28, March 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Could be, but if it was, then I would be bumped by the fact Los Santos lacks its in-game version of Aon Center, which is still one of the well-known skyscrapers in Downtown LA.
 * My guess it's still based on Aon Center because of its location in the skyline of Downtown Los Santos. At that time, Wilshire Grand didn't even start construction because it began in 2014, while Rockstar designed the city before 2013.
 * Also, it has similarities with Aon Center, such as height and location in the skyline when viewed from far-away. Meesmoth (talk) 07:16, July 6, 2020 (UTC)
 * Most of the city of Los Santos is taken from LA around 2010-2011 (refer Portola Drive stores that were demolished after 2010 on Rodeo Drive).
 * The current Influence section correctly identifies the "JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotel building that is a part of L.A. Live, which was under construction from 2007 until early 2010." as the likely source of the construction site. The Wilshire Grand was planned and demolition of the old Wilshire hotel was taking place during game development so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to suggest Rockstar were aware of the design and plans for that tower, but it is unlikely to have been more of an influence than the L.A.Live hotel tower.
 * The Aon Center is very unlikely to have influenced the construction site, given it was not under construction in the 2010s, and the final design seen on the hanging poster is not a match either. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 08:26, July 6, 2020 (UTC)
