5 inexpensive shows in Las Vegas in the week ahead

Franks & Deans’ Weenie Roast

Punk-rock Sinatra covers, burlesque dancers, comedy, DJ Rex Dart spinning various party starters. What more could you ask for? Free hot dogs? OK, you get those too when Frank & Deans throw down at 10 p.m. Wednesday at the Double Down Saloon. The show is free (www.doubledownsaloon.com).

Master of Puppets

Metal prime movers Metallica just released a new tune, “Hardwired,” from the upcoming album “Hardwired … For Self Destruction,” and have promised to tour the States in 2017. Get yourself stoked for both with tribute act Master of Puppets at 10 p.m. Saturday at Vinyl at the Hard Rock Hotel. Tickets are $10 (www.hardrockhotel.com).

Chris Heers

Burritos rule. So does Chris Heers, one of Vegas’ best Americana/alt-country troubadours. Dig both when Heers performs at 9 p.m. Friday at Loco Cantina at Town Square. The show is free (www.lococantinalv.com).

The Union Drifters

The violin-enhanced indie folk of California’s The Union Drifters is almost as warm and sunny as the band’s home state. See them at 9 p.m. Saturday at The Bunkhouse. The show is free (www.bunkhousedowntown.com).

Dive In Movies

Only the stars shining in the night sky above could possibly begin to match the luminous presence of one Patrick Swayze. See both when Swayze’s “Dirty Dancing” is screened outdoors as part of the Dive In Movies series at 7:30 p.m. Monday at the Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan. Tickets are $5 for nonhotel guests. Children younger than 5 are free (www.cosmoplitanlasvegas.com).
