Las Vegas

 Las Vegas is a city in Nevada. The legality of hitchhiking is tricky, make sure to not stand "in a roadway" "exclusive of the berm or shoulder." Standing on the shoulder or sidewalk of a roadway and sticking out your thumb should be fine, still it's probably better to not be hitchhiking too openly when you see police in the distance (or nearer by). The interstate (highway) has a different jurisdiction, you might not want to walk too far up the on ramp.

Hitchhiking out
Note: there is a fairly frequent SDX bus that can help you get away from the Strip.

North towards Beatty, Death Valley, Carson City, Reno
Route 95

You can take the 106 bus (slow) or the Centennial Express (CX) bus (faster) towards Centennial Heights. There's an on-ramp not too far from the terminal. guaka waited a relatively short while, to be taken to the next on-ramp, with much less action, made the mistake of going back, not getting any ride at all, and finally decided to walk all the way beyond the freeway part. There still, no one was picking him up for a long time. Around sunset a guy finally stopped on the freeway. Verdict: leave early, take anything going north, and be prepared to walk a lot. No problem with police though, even walking on 95, at least beyond the point where the road ceases to be a full on highway.

South/East towards Interstate 40 or Phoenix
It is easy to catch a ride to Boulder City, once there, getting out can be slightly tricky. Keep walking out of town along US 93 until you pass the last big intersection (Nevada Hwy). The shoulders are wide, but traffic is going fast here; you may catch slower traffic merging from the intersection. It may be wise to use an extra large hitchhiking sign here for the swift traffic to be able to read. Unfortunately there is no better place to catch a ride than this. At least you will be visible to any and all traffic leaving Vegas in this direction.
