One of my favorite tropical accents in the desert! Evergreen but can have leaf burn on extremely cold winters. Seems to look best with afternoon shade. Be weary of reflected sun in Las Vegas as this will fry sago palm leaves. If growing in full sun, it may be best to have a groundcover around it:) Trailing lantana seems to help in my yard.
