Question of the Day 2026-02-17

How is Big Elvis doing and where is he performing now?

Pete "Big Elvis" Vallee is, as far as we know, doing fine. His past health struggles are well known, but it seems he's managing to hold his weight down enough to do nine 40-minute shows a week at the Piano Bar at Harrah's.

Indeed, "USA TODAY 10Best" ranked Big Elvis at #2 in its 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards for Best Las Vegas Show -- right behind Barry Manilow. He's been a staple in this survey for years, named #5 in 2024, #3 in 2022, and #8 in 2019.

The current schedule is Monday, Friday, and Saturday at 2, 3:30, and 5 p.m. and every time we pass by when he's singing his heart out, the place is packed and rockin'.

You can read Pete Valle's story, including his insistence that he is, actually, Elvis' (illegitmate) son, in our QoD about his life, which you can access at this link

Link

For some reason, the live link to the other QoD is dead. We're working to fix the problem; in the meantime, you'll have to copy/paste the link into a new browser tab.

any fixed cost to attend?

Or just an expectation that you'll "get your drink on"?  :)
