Norris, who holds a 24-point championship lead heading into the concluding three rounds of the season, saw off Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli by 0.029 seconds on the Strip.

Max Verstappen, 49 points back in the title race, finished ninth with Norris' McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri only 14th.

However, the second running of the night was red-flagged twice amid reports of a dislodged drain cover at the 17th and final corner.
