Orlando's Convention Center is actually larger than the one in Las Vegas. Orlando has 2.1 million square feet of exhibition space and 480,000 square feet of function (meeting rooms) space. Las Vegas has 2 million square feet of exhibition space and 250,000 square feet of meeting space. Sources (if anybody cares):

Las Vegas: Las Vegas Convention Center | LVCVA

Orlando has been actively fighting their image of being "just a theme park" town for a long time. I'd bet that sdsearch's comments relating to how each airport authority feels about airline lounges is probably in play. I'd guess that MCO's leadership would eagerly welcome a lounge but LAS would be less enthusiastic.
