If you go to Vegas, there's a spectacular course about 90 minutes away in Mesquite near the Nevada-Utah border called Wolf Creek. It's in the canyons and I suspect not as hot as Las Vegas (not sure about that though).
Mesquite is comparable temperature-wise to Vegas. I played the Casablanca two days in a row one summer and it was 115 out both days. St. George, Utah might be a little cooler?
