By popular demand, FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS have expanded their “Hot Vegas Nights” artist residency at Red Rock Casino Resort in Las Vegas. Originally announced as a five-show residency, two more performances—Saturday, July 6 and Saturday, July 27—have been added to the run through October. The full list of free shows is below.
Led by singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Vegas native FRANKY PEREZ, the band packed the hotel’s showroom to capacity when they launched their artist residency on June 7, the same day they released their LIVE IN LAS VEGAS EP.
The soulful rock belter and his ace band featuring outstanding guitarist Christian Brady brought some serious heat to the Red Rock Resort stage in front of an audience including Eddie Trunk of SiriusXM, John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Review Journal, singer Donovan Leitch, and guitarist Stoney Curtis. The nearly two-hour performance was fierce and passionate, with a pumping horn section, congas, showgirls, soulful rocking songs, and Latin music reflecting PEREZ’ roots. Highlights included fiery interpretations of Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come,” Prince’s “Darling Nikki,” and Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey.”
The LIVE IN LAS VEGAS EP consists of rousing versions of four popular and diverse songs—“The Stroke” (Billy Squier), “Missionary Man” (Eurythmics), “Tennessee Whiskey” (Chris Stapleton), and “Whipping Post” (Allman Brothers Band)—that were recorded at Red Rock Casino Resort, along with the studio bonus cut “Hot Vegas Nights.” Listen to the track HERE watch the video HERE, and read more about the EP HERE.

Quotes from FRANKY PEREZ
About The “Hot Vegas Nights” Residency
What inspired you to form Franky & The All Nighters and call your show “Hot Vegas Nights”?
FRANKY: I was born and raised in Vegas and cut my teeth on the stages of this town. I learned how to entertain audiences from the greats that have graced those same stages before me. I've performed all over the world, but I am yet to find anything that compares to the perfect hot Vegas night, figuratively or literally. To answer your question, I don't know about you but when I find something good…I want it to last ALL NIGHT!
Which songs will you perform? From which eras?
Along with some of my fan favorite originals I will be performing music from the ‘50s all the way to the current day. When I choose songs for sets, I make sure that I believe wholeheartedly in each one. It makes for an honest set and a memorable evening. I will say that I plan on keeping the energy at a high-level and the band sweating all night long.
