Within a few months of opening, the Center was offering free HIV testing, office space for other LGBTQ organizations, and meeting space for groups in support of our community. In January 1994, the Center sponsored the first annual Man and Woman of the Year Awards, known today as the Honorarium.

By 2002, we had outgrown our space and moved into a 6,000 square-foot storefront in Commercial Center only to move again in June 2006 as membership and community programs continued to grow. This expansion included a computer lab, two large meeting/game rooms, a community room, and Las Vegas’ first LGBTQ library.

In 2007, The Center embarked on a capital campaign to purchase a building that would allow for future growth and increase our scope and outreach. By 2012 the Center achieved this goal purchased a free-standing building at 401 S. Maryland Pkwy. Following a $4 million dollar renovation, the Center hosted its grand opening on April 6, 2013. The building was named in honor of Las Vegas businessman and community philanthropist Robert “Bob” Forbuss.
