Best turf for High Desert?

I live in an extreme climate where lows can drop in the teens in the winter and 100+ in the summer. Very similar to Las Vegas. The front lawn is a mess and want to reseed with a new variety. I assume my grass is a cool season grass because it is lush in the shady spots and during the cooler months, but takes a beating in the 100+ temps and I hate wasting water. I don’t walk on my lawn or use it for anything. I’d rather pave it , but there is a city ordinance. What do they use in Palm Springs and Vegas golf courses? Those have similar climates to mine. What are the best options and positives and negatives of each?

You might consider Buffalo grass
