You mean which own the casinos in Vegas or which are based in Vegas? Just publicly traded ones or include large private ones? And how about manufacturers? There are many in all these categories.

Harrah's
MGM Mirage
Las Vegas Sands

Are the "big three" but... there are other commercial casino players that are either big in Vegas but nowhere else, OR are big outside of Vegas.

For example: Penn National Gaming is a very large company but has no LV locations (hq in Pennsylvania and with properties in the Midwest & South). Melco Crown is a gaming company focused on Asia (and pretty big over there) but relatively unknown in the U.S. Station is a big casino chain that used to have properties in various places but pulled back to focus on Vegas locals. Wynn is huge in LV and Asia and is just now getting into non-LV gaming in the U.S.. Isle of Capri is a pretty large operator in the Midwest and South (ditto Ameristar). Boyd Gaming is big regionally (midwest, south, and Atlantic City) and in Las Vegas (they own Sam's Town). Pinnacle Entertainment is a smaller operator in Louisiana, Missouri & Indiana. Majestic Star Casino owns the Fitz & Majestic Star brands of casinos in the south, LV and Chicagoland.

So... there you go.

MGM MIRAGE and Harrah's owns most of the Strip.

Stations and Boyd own most of the locals casinos.

I own none.
