<map lat='36.114581' lng='-115.169678' zoom='10' view='3' float='right' /> 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.
Route 95 towards Beatty, Death Valley, Reno
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.
Sleep
Sign up for the casino memberships (need US ID card or international passport), you get free 5$ gambling money and they might give you free hotel rooms in the future.
