You can but not according to "standard" tomato growing practices. Here are some Nevada specific sites.

I live in a similar climate. I already have mine in ground. They are placed to receive early morning and late afternoon/early evening sun. As the summer sun is far too hot and you will end up with severely misshapen or sunburned fruit. "Typically" they require 6-8 hours of full sun, but in desert heat of temperatures topping 100°+ in the shade, the sun cooks the fruit or, as I have found, the tomato plants just go into survival mode and become dormant and do not set fruit, no matter how much it may have bloomed. By having plants in this early, I will get a fair amount of fruit by July 4th, then they go dormant then start setting fruit again when the nights start getting cooler and I have picked as late as mid-December. They will take far more water - I water before the sun comes up, and during the height of summer they get an evening drink as sometimes they do get droopy just from the heat no matter how much you watered in the morning. They perk up and the cycle continues. While many say this is a no no, they do not live in an arid climate with humidity at less than 10%. I also work in coffee grounds and egg shells too. It may take some trial and error, but do not get discouraged. Just keep trying different varieties till you hit the ones that work best for you. I have had great success with Early Girl, Roma and any cherry or grape varieties. Good luck and keep us posted! 🍅

We have the same problem in Texas. We solved our problem by potting them in large pots. We cover them high with a thin sheet attached to poles so it is above the tomato cages, yet lets SOME sunlight in and lots of ambient light, yet still allows air to circulate and allow easy access to water and harvest.
