Las Payasadas is a town located in northern Bone County, San Andreas, a few miles away from Las Venturas, that appears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description[]
Road signage indicates that the town has a population of 211 in 1992. The town sits on a cliff, with Verdant Meadows visible in the valley below. The town's most prominent feature is a large model chicken known as The Big Pecker, the mascot of Pecker's Feed & Seed company, with a constantly bobbing head. When entering the town from the either side (east or west), a sign is visible, reading: "Las Payasadas, home of "The Big Pecker", The World's Largest Cock".
The name Las Payasadas translates roughly from Spanish to horseplay, clowning around, or antics, a possible reference to the lack of seriousness afforded to this town owing to its giant chicken.
Influence[]
With the layout and appearance of the town and general area, the town’s proximity to Las Venturas (which is based on Las Vegas), and the town’s close proximity to the north of a remote airstrip (Verdant Meadows, which may be based on Sky Ranch Airport), the town appears to resemble Goodsprings, Nevada.

Trivia[]
- In the map that comes with the game, the town is misspelled as "Las Payasdas". Another error is shown on a sign in Valle Ocultado, reading the town's name as "La Payasadas".
- Before the western approach into this town, there is a small dirt road that leads to the road leading to an unused building. This road, although small, has an unusually high volume of traffic using it.
