Human Factors; Procedure
On descent into LAS; the LAS ATIS initially reported landing runways 19/25. As such; we initially set up for 25L and briefed the 19L approaches. As we neared the airport; they switched runways to the 01/7 runways. On previous occasions; approaching LAS from the West; I have always received vectors for the 01L ILS and that is what we expected. As we crossed over the mountains to the west of LAS; we were told to expect the 01R approach with right traffic and began receiving vectors over the field. We quickly loaded vectors for the RNAV 01R approach and performed a hasty brief. We were following [another air carrier] aircraft that was getting vectors for a much wider traffic pattern. Initially; we expected to receive vectors over the same approximate geographic location as [the other aircraft]; but then realized that ATC was bringing us in for a tighter traffic pattern. Ultimately; ATC gave us vectors inside the FAF for 01R (KIBSE) at 5500 ft. With vectors activated; I armed NAV to join the final approach course; not realizing they had vectored us inside the FAF. NAV did not capture and I disconnected autopilot and manually banked the aircraft to join final. We passed through the final approach course and entered the 01L final approach course. There was no traffic at the time for 01L; but ATC did mention we might receive a RA regarding another aircraft. I banked further to bring us back to the course and received the 'Bank Angle' automation call. After stabilizing on course and continuing the descent to try and catch the glide slope; we realized we were within the 1000 ft stabilization criteria. Still high and fast; we initiated a go-around. We were vectored for 01L and they began setting us up for the same situation - high; fast; vectored inside the FAF. We called for the visual approach; got stabilized and landed uneventfully on 01L.Teach crew recognition of what it looks like to get 'slam dunked' in training. This was my first time truly unable to slow down and go down. We had all available drag out but still couldn't meet the stabilization requirements.
