In Nevada they HAVE to be in a crosswalk and you go when they clear from a curb to another curb. That second curb could be an island in the middle of the road with a curb.

More complicated than that..

What is a Crosswalk?
Crosswalks are considered part of the roadway used to channel pedestrian traffic safely across the roadway. Crosswalks can be both
marked and unmarked. Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 484A.065 defines a crosswalk to mean “1. That part of a highway at an
intersection included within the connections of the lateral lines of the sidewalks on opposite sides of the highway measured from the
curbs or, in the absence of curbs, from the edges of the traveled portions of highways; or 2. Any portion of a highway at an intersection
or elsewhere distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by lines or other markings on the surface.” (NRS 484A.095 defines any public
road as a highway.) Accordingly, a legal crosswalk exists at all public street intersections whether marked or unmarked. However, the
only way a crosswalk can exist at a mid-block location is if it is marked. Clark County uses the “bar pattern” as shown above to mark
crosswalks in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), latest edition.

and, if there is no second curb, you can go when they are half way across (same NRS that LVAllen posted above):

NRS 484B.283  Right-of-way in crosswalk; impeding ability of driver to yield prohibited; overtaking vehicle at crosswalk; obedience to signals and other devices for control of traffic; additional penalty if driver is proximate cause of collision with pedestrian or if violation committed in pedestrian safety zone. 1.  Except as otherwise provided in NRS 484B.287, 484B.290 and 484B.350:
(a) When official traffic-control devices are not in place or not in operation, the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way, slowing down or stopping if need be so to yield, to a pedestrian crossing the highway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is upon the half of the highway upon which the vehicle is traveling, or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the highway as to be in danger.
(b) A pedestrian shall not suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield.
(c) Whenever a vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle until the driver has determined that the vehicle being overtaken was not stopped for the purpose of permitting a pedestrian to cross the highway.
(d) Whenever signals exhibiting the words “Walk” or “Don’t Walk” are in place, such signals indicate as follows:
(1) While the “Walk” indication is illuminated, pedestrians facing the signal may proceed across the highway in the direction of the signal and must be given the right-of-way by the drivers of all vehicles.
(2) While the “Don’t Walk” indication is illuminated, either steady or flashing, a pedestrian shall not start to cross the highway in the direction of the signal, but any pedestrian who has partially completed the crossing during the “Walk” indication shall proceed to a sidewalk, or to a safety zone if one is provided.
(3) Whenever the word “Wait” still appears in a signal, the indication has the same meaning as assigned in this section to the “Don’t Walk” indication.
(4) Whenever a signal system provides a signal phase for the stopping of all vehicular traffic and the exclusive movement of pedestrians, and “Walk” and “Don’t Walk” indications control pedestrian movement, pedestrians may cross in any direction between corners of the intersection offering the shortest route within the boundaries of the intersection when the “Walk” indication is exhibited, and when signals and other official traffic-control devices direct pedestrian movement in the manner provided in this section and in NRS 484B.307.

I have never seen a crosswalk on a highway. Is this something new?

"Highway" in the statute refers to everything between the boundary lines of any public right-of-way (i.e., roads) open to the driving public. It's not limited to a restricted access freeway like the I-15, or what most people think of when you say "highway."
