New to nevada. Can I open carry with a inside the waist band holster with just the butt of my weapon in veiw?
Moved it to the Nevada sub-forum.
Where is this sub-forum?
Its this part of the forum. It must have been posted in another section of OC.org. So they moved it here to NV.
...Is anyone going to answer the OP's query?

Almost.Didn't I?
Yes.
...
Now, personally, I avoid it, because you get all the discomfort of concealed carry while trying to enjoy only the legal freedom of open carry. ...
Almost.
Not withstanding the difference in can I (ability) and may I (legally), IMO a more specific response would be of benefit = statute or case law.
You gave a personal opinion w/o those references.
The carry of a holstered handgun in a manner to allow the viewer the opportunity to recognize the existence of a handgun passes the test.
Nevada's preemption statute, which also struck down the previously grandfathered Clark County ordinance, delineates that neither the state nor local municipalities can infringe on this right. Note that there are some simple limitations/restrictions - become familiar with the specifics.

Basic is that one must be at least 18 yo to carry and if asked to leave, you risk a trespass charge for not doing so immediately. Resolve the problem after the fact from the comfort of your home/office.
My short simple, direct answer would be, " Yes you can." but IMO it demanded more.
There was no intent on my part to put Mac down. If it seemed so, I apologize.I'm guessing that most people on here would take "YES" as a very direct answer. Secondly in my opinion most folks on this forum would take Mac's simple answer to a simple question at face value. I certainly do.
As far as the wording of state statute stating 'by ordinary observation' it could still be left to interpretation.
Sometimes experience trumps wording.

Come, come now. Please do not read more into my posting than is evident. It should be obvious that I was not moderating.Once again amazed at how a mod steps in on something so simple as this --snipped--
Yes.
These are questions better asked in the individual state forums, but you got lucky. Welcome to Nevada, and to OCDO!
Now, personally, I avoid it, because you get all the discomfort of concealed carry while trying to enjoy only the legal freedom of open carry. There may also be perception issues which can come into play on private property. Someone might take issue with what they feel is an exposed concealed firearm, whereas have no issue with an obvious gun in an exposed holster. On their property, their feelings count.
...If the OP is eligible for it, a permit to conceal would solve the problem either way.
