what is Attorney costs and other required state costs if applicable to File Suit to Enforce lien

If your lien is recorded, then your next option is to file suit to foreclose the lien within one year of its recording. You would need to consult with an attorney to make that happen. Under Florida's construction lien statute, you would also be entitled to recover your attorneys' fees and costs.

Can i file a mechanics lien on a commercial property in Nevada

It does not seem likely that you could use the mechanics lien if the work is simply regular cleaning and maintenance. You should be able to capture their attention, however, with a demand letter from a law firm I would imagine.

My company supplied lights to a company that leases lights to a hotel in Las Vegas. They are delaying payment
Unfortunately, the type of services described in this scenario will likely not meet the level of "permanency" for the purposes of mechanics lien rights. The Nevada mechanics lien statutes aren't very useful in regards to determining "lienable" work. The term "improvement" is defined under Nev. Rev. Stat. §108.22128, "means the development, enhancement or addition to the property." That's not much to go on. However, one prevalent test to determine permanency is whether the work can be installed and removed without material damage to the improvement. Furthermore, if we look to other areas of Nevada law, the lights seem to be fall under the classification of a "trade fixture" as defined under NAC 361.11745,
  1. Is installed or attached non permanently to real property by an owner or a tenant for the purpose of conducting a business or trade and not for the enhancement of the real property to which it is installed or attached; and
  2. Has a unique identity and function which is related to the business or trade for which it is installed or attached and which is distinct from the real property to which it is installed or attached.
In light of this, I do not believe a mechanics lien would be the proper method of recovery in this situation. If you are still unpaid, your legal options may be limited to claims for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Or, alternatively, you can pass the debt on to a collection agency (Top Construction Agencies for Construction Companies) to do the heavy lifting for you. Good luck!
