History
In 1994, Hindus in the Las Vegas area banded together to create The Hindu Society of Nevada. The land that would later become part of the Temple Campus was bought in 1997. In 2000, the Temple started construction and by April 2001, the Hindu Temple was finished.[3][4]
In 2007, A major contributor to HTLV's funding and member of the Board of Trustees was found guilty of reusing needles at his practice at the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada. Over 60,000 patients were tested for HIV and Hepatitis C.[5]
