Las Vegas, NV -- A 500-pound Elvis Presley impersonator has just had a great weight lifted -- his mother is finally admitting he may be the King's son.

For years, Peter Vallee -- who performs in Las Vegas as "Big Elvis" -- suspected that Elvis was his dad, especially since his mom, Dolores, claims she had a brief affair with Presley.

Until now, she's refused to discussed particulars, feeling it would hinder her son's chance for musical success.

The pound-heavy Presley impersonator now plans to take his mother's claims -- along with DNA samples -- and start a campaign to be recognized as one of the King's kids.

Vallee insists he doesn't want to take anything away from Lisa Marie Presley's estate -- even though Presley's last will makes allowances for potential heirs. He just wants the Presleys to "admit Elvis had other kids."

Big Elvis will be funding his case with sales of a new CD, "Walking In Memphis," which features a tune written for the King: "I Would Have Liked To Get To Know You."
