There are some certain areas of Nevada that would require insurance on golf carts.According to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles states that golf carts may be operated in residential developments where the appropriate city or county government has approved their use.

Certain developments in Clark County where carts are used as general transportation are required to have a DMV permit and insurance.Since Las Vegas is located within Clark County it seems that you may be required to have a DMV permit and insurance depending upon if your golf car is used for general transportation and the local of your housing development.

It is the responsibility of the owner of golf cart to know what roads are designated as permissible for the operation of golf carts.
