The Southern Nevada Water Authority has a landscaping program where they’ll reimburse the owner $3 per square foot up to 10,000 square feet to replace landscaping with water conserving plants.

You'll find a lot of multis built in the late 1890s to the 1930s and those come with all the usual physical plant precautions - knob & tube, cedar pilings, ancient plumbing, etc.RPR is a good tool, but more than that, I'd be looking at Trulia's crime heat maps and MLS rental histories.
