Nevada Small Claims Courts have money jurisdiction for cases of this type up to $7500. Nevada law provides:

NRS 73.010  Jurisdiction of justice courts for small claims.  In all cases arising in the justice court for the recovery of money only, where the amount claimed does not exceed $7,500 and the defendant named:

1.  Is a resident of;

2.  Does business in; or

3.  Is employed in,

the township in which the action is to be maintained, the justice of the peace may proceed as provided in this chapter and by rules of court.
