Yes. Mormons are quite often known for their entrepreneurial spirit and many Mormons own their own companies. Utah has the highest percentage of Mormons and also one of the highest percentages of start-up companies and small businesses.
The Church itself owns very few for-profit companies. These include Deseret Book (a religious book store) and Deseret Management Corporation (a real estate and property management group).
There are over 14 million Mormons around the world. It would be impossible to list all the companies owned by individual Mormons around the world, because it would amount to tens of thousands of companies. Mormons are not required to reveal their religion when they legally register their company, nor does the church keep track of the companies owned by it's members.

What businesses in the city of Las Vegas do members of the Mormon church own?
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.
