Reno, Nv. but almost no one travels this way. Very few services or people. After hitching, 5 continents, I can say this is the worst in the world. Intense police interaction, enthusiastic enforcement of anti hitching law, even in incredibly remote areas. Best advice, bus to on-ramp for 95, take no short rides within the city limits (very heavy police interest +city sprawls out for more than 12 miles. After that you may be forced to solicit rides at gasoline stations. Consider shifting route to go out I-15, This is horrible...paranoid large RVs, over full vacationers, and very very little traffic beyond the city limits. I say this after hitching Montenegro, Panama, and Turkey just this year.
=== South/East towards Interstate 40 (Flagstaff) or [[Phoenix]] ===In Las Vegas there's a bus that goes all along Tropicana Ave (stops at the Strip too!) that can drop you very close to the on ramp of 68. The stop is somewhat after Sandhill Road. Just communicate with the driver, he will know. A ticket is 2 Dollars. From the on ramp it's pretty easy to catch a ride. Just make sure you bring enough water cause it gets really hot out there and you might wait for quite some time...
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.
