Harrah’s is in the news for two big reasons: The Strip casino has a new high limit room and Pete “Big Elvis” Vallee just got a two-year contract extension.<\/p>\n

Our friend Big Elvis has been performing in Las Vegas since the Clinton administration, and the larger-than-life tribute artists continues to offer one of the best free shows in town. (There’s two drink minimum. Like that’s a problem for you.)<\/p>\n

Pete isn’t as big anymore, but it would be weird to call him Less Big Elvis.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Vallee’s run at Barbary Coast and later Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall (what is now Cromwell) was the stuff of Las Vegas legend, and he’s thrived in the Harrah’s piano bar amphitheater.<\/p>\n

It’s not really called that, probably, but you know where it is.<\/p>\n

Big Elvis performs Monday, Wednesday and Fridays at 2:00 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

Vallee does a spot-on Elvis, and if you close your eyes, you’ll feel like you’re in the presence of The King, just without the karate kicks and barbiturates. Hey, don’t shoot the messenger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In other Harrah’s news, the resort recently opened a new high limit room.<\/p>\n

Here’s a quick look from our friend and man-about-town, @JamesinLasVegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n
