I don't have enough reputation to comment on the relevant answers, but to people reading this; adding .btn does not just add the pointer cursor but adds a lot of other styling as well. Which is great if it's a button and you want the bootstap button styling, but in other cases it would mess a lot up for other elements.
The best thing you can do, like Hari Das suggested, and which I also always do, is to add the following css:
.cursor-pointer {
cursor: pointer;
}
After which you can add it to any element
<div class="cursor-pointer"> .. </div>
