Southwest airlines flies nonstop Orlando – Las Vegas. But their flights do not show up on any websites but their own (www.iflyswa.com)
Also, let me nitpick your terminology…I suspect you meant “non-stop” flight, which is a flight that would start at Orlando and fly straight to Las Vegas without landing anywhere in between. While many people incorrectly use the term “direct flight” to mean the same thing, that would actually be an itinerary where your plane takes off from Orlando, stops in Houston (or any other city/cities), you stay on that same plane, then it takes off again and goes to Las Vegas. In other words, a “direct flight” is where you only ever are on one airplane, regardless of the number of intermediate stops.
Damien: Hmm…fair enough. Although this is a route they have flown for a long time, between two of their largest stations. It stands to reason that the route will almost certainly stick around, but of course anything is possible. They’ll start selling tickets for May pretty soon.

SWA does not have their schedule out through the dates which the poster desires (as of my post). They are only thought May 7, 2010.
US Airways is cutting back from LAS, so from Orlando, your options are not many.

Jon has it exactly right.
Airlines calling a flight with intermediate stop “direct” is ike Starbucks calling their smallest size “tall.” It takes some twisted logic for it to be anything but a lie, bu they do it.

Well, i just checked the southwest schedule and it looks like they will have non-stop and direct flights from Orlando to Las Vegas. They are offering that right now, so i imagine they will have it in may also.
It seems like there is a non stop flight, a direct flight and a bunch of flights that require a plane change some where. They only have schedules for the first couple days of May, so you will have to wait until the end of this month to see the schedules for the dates you are looking for.
