| "BIG ELVIS" AT THE BARBARY COAST |
Pete "Big Elvis" Vallee began singing as a youngster in his local church,
where he was told that he sounded like a young Elvis. He is currently
appearing at Bill's Gambling Hall and Saloon, in the casino lounge, Monday
through Thursday from 3 - 6 pm.
By the age of 13, Pete learned to play the guitar and put together an act.
He was not prepared for the unbelievable response he received that year
from a packed audience of students and parents when he sang "Jailhouse
Rock" at a school talent contest. Pete began sitting in with local bands in
Seattle and by the time he was 14, he had a regular gig with Ricky and the
Starfires, playing with them every weekend and eventually moving with the
band to Las Vegas, where he remained until moving back to Seattle to
complete his studies.
A number of years later, Pete returned to Las Vegas, and began
performing on a regular basis. This clean cut, good natured man with a
voice that sounds like Elvis respects the King in every way.
A collector of Elvis memorabilia, Pete admires his namesake and tries to
stay true to the King's persona as a man who loved and was loved by his
fans, and maintained a sense of loyalty to them. When Pete sings, his fans
come alive and the party begins.
Pete's repertoire includes an abundance of Elvis tunes, as well as Louis
Armstrong, some country, gospel and other favorites.
Pete also performs a number of charity events in the area.
Free admission.
Hours: Monday through Thursday, 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
