The Ivy is cool, it almost disguised the house and made it flow into the landscaping.
I grow a plant every year called a Sweet Potato Vine, very Ivy like it flows over my patio railings down to the garage area, LOVE IT. I am not sure how it would do in Las Vegas but you should try it (very easy to grow but takes a lot of watering during the host season).
