McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas this week unveiled new automated passport control kiosks to address the airport's boom in international arrivals, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The APCs were shown off at the U.S. Customs Arrivals Hall at Terminal 3.

"We believe they're going to boost travel and tourism because they make things so much easier for international arrivals," Rosemary Vassiliadis, Clark County's aviation director, told the Review-Journal.

Travelers from the U.S., Canada, Mexico and 38 countries participating in a visa waiver program with the U.S. can use the kiosks to speed the process of getting through the customs. The kiosks scan passports and visually verify the passport holder with a built-in camera.
