The most common scorpion species found in Joshua Tree, California is the Desert Hairy Scorpion (Hadrurus arizonensis), known for its large size and distinct appearance. They are nocturnal creatures that primarily feed on insects and other small prey. While their sting can be painful, it is not usually considered life-threatening to humans.
A few include the bark scorpion, the "hairy" scorpion, and striped tail scorpion, 3 of the (I believe) 24 types of scorpions in Nevada.
An important feature that the scorpion has that enables it to live in the desert is a metabolism that it can slow down. This allows the creature to survive on a very small amount of food, something that is often hard to come by in the desert.

In the Mojave Desert, including areas like North Las Vegas, the most common scorpions are the Arizona bark scorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus), the desert hairy scorpion (Hadrurus arizonensis), and the striped bark scorpion (Paruroctonus mesaensis). The small tan-colored scorpion you found could possibly be one of these species. While some scorpions can deliver painful stings, most are not dangerous to humans. It's always a good idea to take precautions to keep your home free of pests.
