Narrative:
On TYSSN3 arrival at las we were given a 260 head at kaddy and descended to 11000. Then 240 head and 9000. After flying around down low and slow our fuel was getting low. After being cleared for a vis 1L an aircraft was vectored in front of us on 1R shortly after that we were told to go around. At that time we told the controller we were low on fuel and he asked if we were [advising a low fuel state]. Being boxed in a corner we said yes; he then said cleared to land 1L we arrived at the gate with 4.9 on fuel.
