I went though there a few years back and generally had no problems, Even got some food from a cop in Winnemucca. Got arrested while walking though Las Vegas. All around i met some really nice people ranging from a college student going to his moms house for the weekend to an old hippie going to L.A.
''I waited 2 hours in Sparks, almost one day in Fernley, so in Winnemucca I just crashed at drivers' lounge in late afternoon (sooo many truckers are going west, few east... but I got a free shower from one of the former) and rather waited till morning, in 2 hours I got a ride to Denver. So I suggest to plan plenty of time for crossing Nevada, you may get lucky but maybe not. In Winnemucca a cop stopped by and told me it's illegal to hitchhike in Nevada, '''however''' his interpretation was that I am not allowed to stick out my thumb or verbally ask for a ride, BUT it's fine to stand by the road (I was on asphalt shoulder just before interstate entrance) and even lean the destination sign on my backpack! No ticket, he just wrote down data from my passport. I still showed my thumb when there were no suspicious cars around, but eventually I got a ride when I didn't.''
