Fintech Meetup 2026: What’s Your Favourite Thing About Vegas?

At Fintech Meetup in Las Vegas, we asked attendees a simple question: “What’s your favourite thing about Vegas?”. The responses, ranging from the practical to the celebratory, revealed that while the city is famous for its spectacle, it’s the atmosphere and the chance to mix work with unwinding that professionals enjoy most. A common theme was the sheer physical experience and energy of the city.

One attendee joked that their favorite thing was getting in “tens of thousands of steps at the end of every day,” highlighting the massive scale of the conference environment while others simply loved the constant, vibrant atmosphere, noting that “there’s always something to do” and a “lot of energy in the city.”

Many also appreciated Las Vegas’ unique visuals, whether it was loving how tacky it is or simply enjoying “the strip and just like the decorations and exploring around.”

While one attendee confessed they don’t love the city itself and would rather be outside exploring the mountains or the Grand Canyon, the majority celebrated the overall culture. A key takeaway for many was the city’s capacity for fun, summed up as the good vibes where everyone has a good time.
