'How to enable latest TypeScript Language Service in VS Code?

Visual Studio Code runs whatever TypeScript version that it's shipped with (currently v1.5). If I use some experimental compiler features such as AsyncFunctions then it will complain. Some other answers on SO say how to make VS Code to build project with a different version of TS, but I can't find an answer on how to make Language Service actually use the newer version.
