We were at Harrah's a few weeks ago and his voice was outstanding as ever. Some people who had never seen him stopped to listen, and they were astounded. The piano bar is located at the main entrance to the Carnival Court area.
As for the show itself, the room is small, and closed off from the casino with a half-wall. You can still see in and listen over the wall, but Big E's back (or rather, the back of his chair) is to the lurkers outside the piano bar, so you can't really see him unless he stands up.
I don't know how early you have to go to get a table inside, but it is always full when we have walked by - usually we are on the way to a slot tournament, show, or other event; we actually do stay at Harrah's, but have not thought ahead to get a table inside the bar.
I have not seen any of the Elvii and Elvettes routines, so I don't know if he still does them.
We used to play video poker at Bill's while Big E was on, but now there are no VP machines near the piano bar. There are a few tables open (most are closed), and some slots further down, but it's not the same. HARRAH'S IS MISSING A RARE OPPORTUNITY by not filling the area in front of the Piano Bar with VP machines and slots.
But oh, my, what a show. Not to be missed.
