The largest technology event in Las Vegas has so far lots of news, companies are trying to capture the attention of visitors and the rest of the world. But not all is good news, and one of them is quite unusual: electricity was lacking in the north and central halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center, which hosts CES 2018. Security evacuated most of the visitors from affected rooms during this break-in period which lasted for about two hours.
The outage has affected hundreds of companies, including giants like LG, Samsung and Sony, as well as many small startups who have paid thousands of dollars to have presence on the giant floor.
There is an isolated power outage at the Las Vegas Convention Center. We are working hard to resolve this and appreciate your patience.

However, the situation is normalized, everyone waits for the explanation of the organizers of the event, which only said that it was an isolated event for two wings of the place where the event is being organized.
Power has been restored and rolled out slowly through Central Hall at the LVCC. We thank you again for your patience.

Failures in electricity supply have become common in Angola, but who would say that in the US, in such an important event, we would have a situation of this kind.
