As the tech-savvy arrive in Las Vegas for CES, McCarran International Airport boosts its power

While the gadgets of the future are only just arriving in Las Vegas for the annual International CES show, officials at the city's main airport are updating a decades-old terminal to cater to legions of tech-savvy travelers.

By Friday at McCarran International Airport, a couple thousand outlets and USB ports under seats and inside bars and restaurants will be available for those looking for a power charge in Terminal 1 before heading home after the gadget convention.

The fix is a long-term one and comes as the airport also doubled the bandwidth available for each traveler allowing for speedier surfing via the airport's free Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi debuted 10 years ago ahead of another CES show.

By the next CES, officials expect to install tech-friendly lounge areas.
