Quick answer: Money20/20 USA 2026 takes place from 18 to 21 October 2026 at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, with conference activity spread across The Venetian and The Palazzo. If you are flying in from abroad: apply for an ESTA or visa well ahead, book your hotel early, install a US eSIM at home, plan rideshare pickups from Harry Reid Airport's garage level, and treat every post-event DM as possible phishing.
Key takeaways
- Money20/20 USA 2026: 18-21 October at The Venetian Resort, Las Vegas. The organiser expects over 11,000 attendees.
- Visa Waiver travellers need an approved ESTA before boarding. CBP recommends applying at booking and no later than 72 hours before departure.

Which network you get, and what it really costs
In United States the Fizen eSIM roams on Verizon (4G/5G). This is a United States-only plan. At 384 kbps you can still send messages and load map tiles, but not hold a video call.

Prices and carrier read from the Fizen catalogue on 23 September 2026. Data only, no calls or SMS.
Prices are before the welcome credit. A new user who opens the eSIM tab in the Fizen app for the first time gets US$10 of eSIM credit automatically, with no code, valid for 12 months. The app shows how much of it comes off your order. Paying by card on the web works too, but the credit only applies in the app.
You land at Harry Reid at 11pm after a long-haul flight, follow the signs for rideshare, and discover your phone is showing no service because your roaming pass never activated. The pickup zone is a level up in a parking garage, your driver is messaging you, and you cannot see any of it.
When and where is Money20/20 USA 2026?
| Date | What | Where |
|---|---|---|
| 18-21 October 2026 | Money20/20 USA conference and expo | The Venetian Resort, Las Vegas |

The organiser describes an audience of more than 11,000 senior attendees from thousands of companies and dozens of countries.

Money20/20 pre-flight checklist for international attendees
- ESTA or visa. If your country is in the Visa Waiver Program, apply for an ESTA on the official CBP website only. Otherwise check visa requirements on the US State Department's travel site. Third-party sites charge extra for the same form.
- Passport validity and return ticket in line with the rules for your nationality.
- Phone eSIM-capable and carrier-unlocked, with a US eSIM installed at home on Wi-Fi.
- Keep your home SIM active for bank OTPs and two-factor codes. A travel eSIM is data-only.
- Hotspot check. If you demo from a laptop, pick a plan that allows tethering.
- Power bank within your airline's rules, plus a US plug adapter (types A and B).
- Offline copies of your badge confirmation, hotel booking and meeting schedule.
- Security keys or authenticator backups for work accounts, stored separately from your phone.
- Comfortable shoes. Distances inside Las Vegas resorts are much longer than they look.
Why you want your own data at Money20/20
Conference Wi-Fi is shared by thousands of people who are all uploading slides and joining calls at the same moment. More importantly, your week is not only inside the expo hall.
- Meetings move. Rooms, times and dinner venues change by message throughout the day.
- Rideshare and maps between resorts, where walking times are routinely underestimated.
- Security. Your own mobile data is a safer default than open hotel or venue networks for work email, banking apps and admin dashboards.
- Laptop hotspot to send a contract, update a deck or join a call from a quiet corner.
- Badge and ticket QR codes for sessions and receptions.
Fizen has United States with plans, installed at home and switched on after you land. Pay in USDT on Solana or BNB Chain or with the other methods shown at checkout, which is a natural fit for a payments crowd. Get your US eSIM before you fly, and see our USA eSIM guide for coverage and plan tips.
How to get from Harry Reid Airport to The Venetian
