Millicent Rosen, born Jan. 14, 1931, in New York City to Benjamin Bugsy Siegel and Esta Siegel (nee Krakower), died Nov. 17 in Las Vegas. She was 86. On Tuesday, she was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery.
Bugsy Siegel, a mobster some have credited with helping to build modern Las Vegas, was shot to death in Beverly Hills on June 20, 1947. He was connected to fellow mobsters Meyer Lansky, Charles Lucky Luciano and crime syndicate Murder Inc.
Rosen married the Jack Rosen, the son of mob associate Morris Rosen. She is survived by her two daughters, Wendy and Cindy Rosen, and preceded in death by Jack and her son, Benjamin, who died in 1953.
She had to go her whole life defending her father, Harlig said.
The family had considered cremating Rosen, but Harlig insisted cremation wouldnt align with Jewish principles. After some discussion, Rosens family agreed to have her buried in Las Vegas, where her father bought El Cortez, 600 Fremont St., and opened the Strips first resort-style hotel in the Flamingo, 3555 Las Vegas Blvd. South. El Cortez has a restaurant named after her father, and she donated memorabilia for the restaurant to display.
This will be full circle, Harlig recalled saying. Maybe this was meant to be that we met.
