Where to stay for Money20/20 USA 2026: the closest hotels to The Venetian Expo are in Las Vegas Strip and Venetian / Palazzo area, with Downtown Las Vegas a short ride away. The fair runs 18 Oct to 21 Oct 2026 and rooms near the venue sell out first, so book a free-cancellation rate early. Add your company name and tax number at checkout for an itemised tax invoice.
Money20/20 USA 2026 takes over The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas from 18 to 21 October 2026, gathering more than 11,000 senior people from payments, banking and fintech — over half at VP level or above, with heavy representation from the world's biggest banks, card networks, investors and regulators. It is the industry's densest four days of deal-making, and proximity is currency: staying inside the Venetian/Palazzo complex means your meetings, the show floor and the evening receptions are all under one roof. That is exactly why on-property rooms and the neighbouring mid-Strip resorts sell out months ahead, with rates climbing as October approaches. Wynn, Encore, Caesars Palace and the Linq corridor give walkable alternatives at varying prices. This page carries live, bookable rates for the Venetian itself and the surrounding Strip, so you can weigh a two-minute lift ride against a fifteen-minute walk and book accordingly.

Where to eat during Money20/20 USA
CES dinners book out weeks ahead — the good rooms near the Convention Center go first. These are the spots Vegas regulars actually take clients: reserve before you fly, and keep one casual back-up for the nights the schedule slips.
Piero's Italian Cuisine
Italian · old-school Vegas
Convention Center Dr — 5 min walk from LVCC
The CES institution — directly across from the Convention Center, dark booths, osso buco, and half the industry in the room during show week.
Tip: Book weeks ahead for CES week; ask for a booth for client dinners.
Open in Google Maps
Golden Steer Steakhouse
Steakhouse · since 1958
W Sahara Ave — 6 min drive
Vegas's oldest steakhouse — Sinatra's booth is still there. Tableside Caesar, dry-aged steaks, and the kind of room that closes deals.
Tip: CES week reservations open ~60 days out and vanish — set a reminder.
Open in Google Maps
Lotus of Siam
Northern Thai
E Flamingo Rd — 10 min drive
Repeatedly called the best Thai restaurant in America — khao soi and crispy duck worth leaving the Strip for, with a deep Riesling list.
Tip: Order the Northern Thai specials, not the standard menu.
Open in Google Maps
Raku
Japanese izakaya · robata
Chinatown, Spring Mountain Rd — 15 min drive
Where Strip chefs eat after service — charcoal-grilled skewers and house-made tofu until 2am. Perfect for the night the show runs late.
Tip: Open till 2am — ideal for a post-booth-teardown dinner.
Open in Google Maps
Esther's Kitchen
Italian · pasta & natural wine
Arts District — 12 min drive
The Arts District favourite — house pastas and sourdough that locals queue for. A relaxed team dinner away from convention crowds.
Open in Google Maps
Joël Robuchon
French fine dining
MGM Grand — 14 min drive
The only three-Michelin-star room in Las Vegas — the deal-closing dinner when the contract is big enough to justify it. Jacket recommended.
Tip: Tasting menus only — plan 3 hours and book the moment your dates lock.

Bazaar Meat by José Andrés
Steak · Spanish
Sahara Las Vegas — 5 min drive from LVCC
José Andrés does carnivore theatre — wood-fired steaks and Spanish plates minutes from the Convention Center. The impress-a-client room closest to CES.
Tip: Closest fine dining to LVCC — the CES-week table everyone fights for.

Vesta Coffee Roasters
Specialty coffee · café
Arts District — 12 min drive
Las Vegas's best specialty roaster — proper flat whites and quiet tables for the morning email triage before the halls open.

Peppermill Fireside Lounge
American diner · 24 hours
Las Vegas Blvd — 4 min drive from LVCC
The neon-lit 1972 institution — open 24 hours, giant breakfasts, and booths that have hosted more informal CES meetings than most suites.
Tip: Open all night — the fallback when the only slot a contact has is 7am.

Getting there
From Harry Reid International (LAS)
- The airport sits about 4 miles from the Venetian — taxis take 15-20 minutes and typically run $25-35 with airport fees, using a flat-rate zone system to Strip resorts
- Rideshare pick-up is from designated garage levels at Terminals 1 and 3; expect surge pricing when big conference flights land
- There is no direct rail link from the airport to the Strip
- Nearly all Money20/20 attendees fly in — LAS has direct routes from most major US cities plus London, Frankfurt and other international hubs
By road from Southern California
- Driving from Los Angeles via I-15 takes roughly 4-5 hours outside peak periods; Sunday-evening return traffic toward LA is notoriously slow
- The Venetian offers on-site parking (fees apply, as at most Strip resorts)
- Long-distance buses from LA and Phoenix serve Las Vegas if you prefer not to drive
- If you drive, arriving Saturday avoids the Sunday I-15 crush before the Sunday-evening opening
Getting around during Money20/20 USA
Getting to The Venetian Expo daily
- If you stay at the Venetian or Palazzo, the Expo is an internal walk — allow 10-15 minutes from far towers, as the property is vast
- The Las Vegas Monorail's Harrah's/The Linq station is the closest stop for attendees staying along the east Strip corridor
- From Wynn, Encore or Caesars Palace it is a 10-20 minute walk; pedestrian bridges make crossing the Strip straightforward
- Rideshare drop-off at the Venetian queues badly at 8-9am during the event — walking from neighbouring resorts is usually faster
Around Las Vegas
- The Monorail runs along the east side of the Strip from MGM Grand to Sahara; the RTC Deuce bus covers the full Strip 24/7
- Strip distances deceive — resorts that look adjacent can be a 20-minute walk apart, so budget time between off-site meetings
- Taxis queue at every resort's taxi rank; rideshares use dedicated pick-up zones, which can be a long walk through the casino floor
- Evening traffic on Las Vegas Boulevard crawls during major conferences; leave early for dinners booked away from the mid-Strip
Visa & entry
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Visa Waiver Program nationals — including the UK, most of the EU, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand — attend with an ESTA (around $40, valid two years) instead of a visa
- Canadians need only a valid passport for short business visits, with no ESTA or visa
- ESTA approval is usually fast but apply at least 72 hours before departure
eVisa / visa required
- Attendees from India, China, Brazil, most of Africa and the Middle East need a B-1 business visitor visa with an in-person consular interview
- Interview backlogs at some posts stretch to months — Money20/20's international draw means you should start the process as soon as you register
Documents to carry
- Money20/20 registration confirmation and a business card or employer letter evidencing the purpose of travel
- Hotel confirmation and proof of return or onward travel
- A copy of your ESTA approval or visa foil details for reference at the border
US entry requirements and fees change — confirm current rules with the nearest US embassy or official ESTA/CBP channels before you book.
First time at Money20/20 USA?
- The event effectively starts Sunday 18 October — arrive Saturday, collect your badge that day if pickup is open, and be fresh for the opening sessions
- Book your meeting slots through the official app early; the industry runs on pre-scheduled 30-minute meetings and calendars fill before the show starts
- The Venetian Expo floor plus meeting rooms is a huge footprint — plan each day's route by hall zone or you will lose hours in transit
- Carry a portable charger; power outlets on the show floor are scarce and your calendar lives on your phone
- On-property rooms at the Venetian/Palazzo sell out first and cost the most — Harrah's, the Linq and Flamingo across the Strip are walkable and materially cheaper
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Wednesday (the final day) is the quiet one — senior exhibitor staff have time for real conversations before teardown
- The best networking happens at the sponsored evening parties and suite dinners, not the show floor; hustle invites in the weeks before, not on-site
- Skip the show-floor lunch queues — the Venetian's Grand Canal Shoppes food options are minutes away and turn tables faster
- Walk between mid-Strip meetings via the casino-level interiors and pedestrian bridges; it beats rideshares stuck on the Boulevard almost every daytime hour

Three to six months out is the safe window for the Venetian and its neighbours; October is peak convention season in Las Vegas. Free-cancellation rates make early booking low-risk.

No. There is no interest and no extra charge. Your plan total is exactly the hotel price shown when you book. The only fee we ever charge is a processing fee on cash refunds (see 'What fees apply?').
How many payments can I make?
Depending on how far away your trip is, you can split your booking into between 2 and 16 weekly payments. The exact schedule is shown before you book.
What happens after I pay my deposit?
Your hotel is booked and confirmed immediately. You receive your booking confirmation and your full payment schedule by email, and the remaining payments are charged automatically each week.
How are the weekly payments taken?
Automatically. After your first payment, each weekly payment is charged to your saved card, and we send you a reminder 2 days before every charge. In a few countries where automatic card charges are not allowed, we email you a secure payment link each week instead. You can switch to a different card at any time.
Can I pay early?
Yes. Sign in to your Event Escapes account at any time and pay off your remaining balance in one payment, whenever it suits you. There is never a fee for paying early.
What happens if I miss a payment?
We retry your card automatically and email you a secure payment link so you can pay another way, plus a final notice with one link to clear the remaining balance. If the plan still cannot be completed, we cancel the room before its free-cancellation deadline and everything you have paid goes into your Event Escapes Wallet in full. You never lose the money you have paid. You can turn that credit into a cash refund at any time (the processing fee applies).
