On the intro to miami vice it shows a big building with a see through portion, with some kind of red statue in it. It’s like a big square hole in the building. What building is this?
It’s the Atlantis. It’s a condominium building. The HGTV show Generation Renovation did a story about the woman who lives (and renovated, of course) the condo at the top of those red stairs (the red statue you refer too).
There’s a decent pic 1/2 way down this page:

In the 4 years I spent in Miami, I always wondered where the heck that building was. I never did find it.
Near downtown, visible off one of the causeways, IIRC. Been a while since I lived there, but I saw it all the time.
It’s smaller than it looks too. If you have Google Earth, it’s at
