Narrative:
We requested taxi clearance and were given instructions to proceed to runway 7L via taxiway H and monitor tower only. Las vegas tower called us and told us to hurry up and taxi faster to the hold short line because we were going to get an immediate departure. Approaching the line of hold short we got cleared into position and as we were taxiing tower said 'do you see the 737 taking off from your left?' and we responded 'no at this time.' there was some confusion and he cleared us for takeoff. As we lined up with the runway we got rushed by the controller and realized we overturned and were facing runway 1L. We realized this immediately as well as the airplane showed us the same on our primary flight display and simultaneously tower called and said 'stop turn off the runway on taxiway bravo immediately.' we did as instructed and without any harm got re-cleared for takeoff on runway 7L again. There is a hot spot #4 at this intersection of runway 1L & 7L that makes it difficult to spot which runway you are on because there are displaced thresholds. This coupled with the controller urgency for us to hurry confused us while taxiing and doing our pre-takeoff checklist.
