LEO'S CASINO was a premier showcase in Cleveland for R&B and Motown artists. The co-owner of Leo's Casino, Leo Frank, got his first taste of the entertainment business while serving in the Navy in 1945. He was in charge of a theater on a base near San Francisco that featured Bob Hope, Harry James and other prominent entertainers. In 1952 Leo Frank opened his first club, called Leo's, at E. 49th St. and Central Ave. It started as a bar but expanded into a jazz room, featuring musicians like Dizzy Gillespie and Cannonball Adderley. The building burned down in 1962. With his business partner Jules Berger, Leo Frank started Leo's Casino in 1963 at the old Quad Hall Hotel at 7500 Euclid Avenue. The new Leo's held about 700 people and served dinner. Admission was two dollars. The club continued to feature jazz until R&B acts quickly took over. The club usually had three shows a night, Thursday through Sunday.

Between 1963 and 1972, an illustrious entourage of musical acts performed at Leo's Casino, including Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Jackie Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, Dionne Warwick, the Supremes, the Temptations and the Four Tops. Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin gave some of their first performances at the club while Otis Redding made his last stage appearance at the club prior to his fatal plane crash in 1967. The club also provided a springboard for numerous comedians, such as Richard Pryor, Flip Wilson and Redd Foxx.

Because of its racially mixed audiences, Dick Gregory called the place, 'the most fully integrated nightclub in America,' however Frank always explicitly made it clear that social justice had nothing to do with his motivations. His reason for opening the nightclub was to make money. The club served as a unique haven in the midst of the racial tensions that gripped Cleveland in the 1960s. In 1966 during the Hough riots, just a few blocks away, hundreds of people, black and white, waited in line to see the Supremes. The Supremes played two sets on Sunday night, July 24, but the police told the club's owners to cancel the third show and shut down the club. Leo's Casino shut down for four weeks and then reopened with Ray Charles.

As the acts that performed at Leo's Casino grew more successful, the singers started playing one-night stands at larger venues for more money. While Leo's Casino would pay an act $3,000 or $4,000, they could get $15,000 at the larger stages. In 1970 Frank sold his share in the nightclub to Berger. Two years later Berger closed the club. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (See ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM) designated the club an historic rock'n'roll landmark on June 24, 1999. Two weeks after the dedication ceremony, Leo Frank died of respiratory failure and pneumonia.

My wife and I just returned from a week away at Merit Hotel Lefkosa and what a time we had. It's a beautiful hotel, so luxurious - we found it on the gonorthcyprus website and we're really taken with its appearance so booked straightaway. The staff were very friendly and courteous and we had a spacious room that was well maintained. We received a welcome drink before checking in and were generally made to feel valued for the whole stay. Beautiful decor throughout the hotel and the casino was great,... more

We were looking for somewhere nice to stay in Nicosia and liked how the Merit Lefkosa seemed to combine stylish luxury with some character, so we booked a break with our agent GoNorthCyprus.com.

I stayed at the Merit Lefkosa recently via GoNorthCyprus.com for a business trip after reading the reviews online. I was impressed by the standard of accommodation and service and found both to be as expected on arrival. My room was comfortable and clean and the breakfast was excellent, really good - about a dozen different cheeses, omelettes, pastries and more. Stylish casino on site but the Wi-Fi in the hotel is a bit slow, still, this was not a big problem. Staff were friendly on reception and... more

We wanted an upmarket getaway for our first trip to north Cyprus and that is just what we got. We were browsing the gonorthcyprus website when we came across the Merit Lefkosa, it looked right up our street, traditional but stylish and exclusive. We got a good price on a non-smoking room and found it to be very welcoming, clean and spacious. The furniture is traditional in style, which is quite nice as it gives the place an authentic feel. The staff were helpful and hospitable and the food was exceptional... more

My wife and I recently stayed at the Merit Lefkosa after booking with gonorthcyprus. The reviews online were a bit mixed but as we're both smokers and the main complaint referred to smoky smells, we figured we probably wouldn't be bothered about the smell. In fact we didn't even notice it! Staff welcomed us warmly and checked us in to a very nice room, well appointed and stylishly decorated with excellent views of the surroundings. Great facilities, spa, sauna and gym and breakfast every morning... more

I recently booked a short business break at the Merit Lefkosa through GoNorthCyprus.com, who provided the best prices and faultless customer service when I asked them to find me somewhere high-quality that really stood out. The hotel is grand and imposing – an ideal place to impress during a business meeting. I made the most of my time at the hotel, using the outdoor swimming pool, the spa and the casino – all of which exceeded my expectations. The spa in particular was really luxurious and had... more

I have previously stayed in the Merit Crystal Cove hotel so this year decided to make a change and go for the Merit Lefkosa. Just before I went, I read a few reviews and one went on about how rude the staff are. It did worry me a bit but I need no need to worry. During my whole stay, I had no problems with the staff and my booking was correct. The staff aren't fantastic at speaking English, so perhaps if you did have a problem, it might be difficult but I found them to be perfectly polite.The Merit... more

My visit to this hotel in December 2009 was my second and I will be back. It has good quality rooms and facilities and is certainly the best I have stayed in on Cyprus - north or south. Staff are friendly but, if you do not speak Turkish, you must accept that language may be an issue with cleaning staff. All other staff converse well in English. Cleanliness is high, reception is efficent, pool and leisure facilities are good, breakfast is excellent with a wide choice.Security arrangements apply... more

As I was in the neighbourhood, I thought I would drop in to this hotel to see what all the fuss was about. The hotel looks modern from the outside with a sleek interior, but unfortunately the glamour ends there...The staff all seemed to be miserable, not one could crack a slight glimpse of a smile and if you fail to notice the cracked faces then you won't miss the rudeness of the front desk and casino desk staff that are placed here to prevent customers coming in. There were more staff in the... more
