Ricky Martin: Las Vegas Residency Special To Air

GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY winner <a href="https://www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/ricky-martin">Ricky Martin</a> is best known as an electrifying performer, so "Ricky Martin: Behind The Vegas Residency" — scheduled to air on VH1 on Sept. 4 — should be dynamic entertainment, giving us an intimate look at the superstar.

The one-hour special will give fans a behind-the-scenes look of Martin's sold-out residency, which took place at the Park Theater of Monte Carlo Resort and Casino in April and will continue with additional spot dates through Sept 23.

Nominated in consecutive&nbsp;years between the <a href="https://www.grammy.com/grammys/awards/41st-annual-grammy-awards">41st GRAMMY Awards</a> for 1998 and the <a href="https://www.grammy.com/grammys/awards/44th-annual-grammy-awards">44th GRAMMY Awards</a> for 2001, and more recently scoring his second GRAMMY win for Best Latin Pop Album at the <a href="https://www.grammy.com/grammys/awards/58th-annual-grammy-awards">58th GRAMMY Awards</a>, Martin has proven to be a man who crosses boundaries — with his music, charity work and status as a gay icon.

Martin's intervening years also brought him three <a href="https://www.latingrammy.com/es/nominees/search?artist=%22ricky+martin%22&amp;field_nominee_work_value=&amp;year=All&amp;genre=All">Latin GRAMMY</a> wins: Music Video for 2001 for "She Bangs" and two awards for 2007 MTV Unplugged, both the album and the long-form video. In 2006 he was honored as The Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year, an annual Latin GRAMMY Week event supporting the <a href="https://www.latingrammy.com/en/cultural-foundation">Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation</a>.

Just as Martin puts a cap on his Las Vegas residency, Latin GRAMMY season will be in full swing. Latin GRAMMY nominations will be announced on Sept. 20 and the <a href="https://www.grammy.com/grammys/news/2017-latin-grammys-set-nov-16-las-vegas">18th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards</a> will be held on Nov. 16 in Las Vegas.
