LAS VEGAS GAMER JARRETT DIES AFTER 63 YEARS IN CITY



Services will be Saturday for Glen Jarrett, a longtime Las Vegan and gaming 
industry figure, who died Tuesday.  He was 75.

He was born Feb. 22, 1912, in Nephi, Utah, and was a 63 year resident of Las 
Vegas.

Jarrett was a member of the first graduating class of Las Vegas High School, 
where he was a football and basketball star in the late 1920s.

After graduating, he worked for the Nevada Highway Department and helped survey 
the Strip, said his wife, Pat, of Las Vegas.

He was a World War II veteran and served in the Air Force.

In 1951, he started working as a dealer at the Last Frontier.  He held a number 
of jobs at various Strip casinos before retiring in 1977, after serving as 
assistant casino manager at the Tropicana Hotel.

While he was a dealer, his customers included Bugsy Siegel, Frank Sinatra and 
Ava Gardner, his wife said.

He is also survived by his sons, H. Gregory of Las Vegas and Kevin of 
Susanville, Calif.; daughter, Shelia Leavitt of Phoenix; brothers LaVell and 
Rex, both of Las Vegas; sister Erma Bruce of Las Vegas; and seven grandchildren.

Visitation will be from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. 
services Saturday in Bunker Mortuary.  Burial will be in Woodlawn Cemetery.
