Pete “Big Elvis” Vallee Moves from Bill’s to Harrah’s

From the Las Vegas blog for Harrah's (link to story at the bottom of post)

A Vegas institution, Pete “Big Elvis” Vallee, who has performed for thousands of people at Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon (formerly the Barbary Coast) for a decade has stunned his fans by announcing he’ll be moving to Harrah’s Las Vegas on May 3, 2012.

The final “Big Elvis” show at Bill’s will be April 30, 2012.

The Elvis tribute artist made the surprise announcement on his Facebook page, stating, “A chapter comes to a conclusion at Bill’s Hotel and Casino. Were moving to Harrah’s…if you’re coming out to see me, the show will be at the piano bar. Thank you, Bill’s, for 10 great years! Thanks to the fans and friends. Hope to see you at Harrah’s.”

Vallee’s show in the piano bar at Harrah’s will take place Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 2:00 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.

The new show will be, as it’s always been, free. Mark your calendar, and check out this must-see free show in its new location at Harrah’s Las Vegas.

Is this a signal that Bill's will end up like O'Sheas?

Wow,

Thought he would always be at Bill's,
that's about the only draw to that place.

Wow this is great news. Trouble is, the piano bar is pretty small, and there are always tons of folks standing outside.

We love to play video poker (even bad video poker) while listening to Big E. I sure wish they would put some video poker outside the piano bar. I'd sit there for the entire afternoon.
