Everything You Need To Know About Big Elvis at Harrah’s

Key Points:

• Pete “Big Elvis” Vallee performs Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 2-6 pm at Harrah’s Piano Bar.

• Vallee is a legend, earning accolades from both local and national publications in addition to a star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars.

• For those not in Vegas, Pete has a documentary on Amazon Prime Video and a YouTube channel chock full of performances.

There are few people that can call themselves staples of Las Vegas, but Pete Vallee certainly fits the bill.

Pete stars as “Big Elvis” which is a free show offered multiple days and times per week at Harrah’s Piano Bar which is located at the front of the property near the Las Vegas Strip.

Pete’s legacy in Las Vegas extends beyond his current stint at Harrah’s, however, as he has performed in numerous casinos including Sahara, several Stations Casinos, and Barbary Coast/Bill’s Gambling Hall.

In fact, Big Elvis owns the belt as the longest-running Elvis production in Las Vegas.

To say Big Elvis has attracted a cult following would be an understatement, as Vallee has earned himself mentions in the Las Vegas Review Journal’s “Best of Las Vegas” and was named one of the Best 10 Shows in Vegas by USA Today.

Even Time Magazine has weighed in, naming Vallee as one of the Top Ten Elvis impersonators in the entire country.

Immortality is a pretty cool thing, and Pete Vallee has earned that via his own star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars. You can visit the star etched into the sidewalk outside of Harrah’s Piano Bar.

Additionally, the Clark County Commissioners have dubbed February 27th as Peter “Big Elvis” Vallee day.

As you can likely surmise, the man’s a legend, and we’re fortunate to get to see him perform for free.

More Big Elvis Tidbits

• Get to the Piano Bar early to snag a seat. As a popular show, the room fills quickly and many fans are relegated to standing outside the bar on the casino floor.

• If you don’t get there early enough for a seat in the bar, you can still grab a cocktail. About 30 feet from the Piano Bar is a gift shop that sells cold canned beer and cocktails. Grab one (or a few, what the heck) for the show.
