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! I still showed my thumb when there were no suspicious cars around, but eventually I got a ride when I didn't.''
