LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

Tuesday will mark the birthday of Las Vegas Strip performer Pete "Big Elvis" Vallee.

The entertainer who has performed at Bill's Gambling Hall & Saloon is also celebrating 10 years on the Las Vegas Strip with more than 7,000 performances.

The hotel is inviting the public to celebrate Big Elvis' birthday with an official proclamation from Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman.

Guests can join the "King" and celebrate with cake, prizes and sip on specially created peanut butter and banana cocktails.

Big Elvis himself will perform at 3 p.m., 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

He is expected to perform all the hits of the King of Rock & Roll, as well as some other popular rock, country, gospel, rhythm & blues and pop songs.

In 2011, Big Elvis was listed as the No. 1 Las Vegas Attraction in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and, in 2012, he was named on Time Magazine/CNN's List of Top 10 Elvis Impersonators.
