The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) strongly discourages gambling, and therefore Mormons shouldn't be involved in Las Vegas gambling. However, there are a few who will participate in gambling while in Las Vegas.
Although founded originally by Christian Mormons in the early 1900s, Las Vegas has become a highly liberal dominated city.

Most towns in Utah and southern Idaho were settled by Mormons, as well as many in northern Arizona, western Wyoming, eastern Nevada, California, southern Canada, and northern Mexico. Some of the more well known cities that were founded by Mormons are Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, and St. George, Utah; Las Vegas, Nevada; Mesa, Arizona; and Cardston, Alberta.
There are tens of thousands of businesses in the city of Las Vegas, and their owners are not required to disclose their religious beliefs. Moreover, there are more than 70,000 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) in Las Vegas. Therefore, it would be impossible to know exactly how many businesses were owned by members of the Church. Las Vegas and surrounding cities such as North Las Vegas and Henderson do have a relatively large population of Mormons so it is likely that several businesses in the area are owned by Mormons.

Las Vegas, Nevada was discovered in 1829 by a party of explorers led by Antonio Armijo. He was a Mexican trader searching for a route to Los Angeles, California. Las Vegas remained virtually unknown until 1844 when explorer John C. Fremont settled in the Las Vegas Valley. It was officially founded in 1905, but wasn't incorporated until 1911.
