Named "Headliner of the Year in Las Vegas," Moreno is a classically-trained musician who continues to entertain audiences with his sophistication and attention-grabbing show Wednesdays-Saturdays at Stratosphere Hotel. Following in the footsteps of previous Las Vegas headliners, Moreno is the third guest performer to jam live onstage with the Las Vegas company at Harrah's.

Entertainers that have graced the stage with the cast include Bally's Las Vegas headliner and one-woman vocal phenomenon, Véronic DiCaire, and most recently "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks.

The Vegas cast of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET features Benjamin D. Hale (Johnny Cash), Justin Shandor (Elvis Presley), Martin Kaye (Jerry Lee Lewis), Robert Britton Lyons (Carl Perkins), Marc D. Donovan (Sam Phillips) and Felice Garcia (Dyanne).
