Nevada is terrible. The roads burst into flames all summer and cars like to hit cyclists more than eachother. ..
Did the Oatbran across US 50 once. I loved it. Would be eager to do it again. Nothing out US 50 but sagebrush and rocks and little traffic. Loneliest Road in America. I'd recommend it. Might better do it with a pack of cyclinsts tho. There is nothing out there for sometimes over 100 miles. Riding up the ranges, perfect climbs. Mid September, perfect temperatures.
