Check out Allegiant.  They have flights from DSM to Las Vegas,
Orlando, and a couple of other cities for pretty cheap.  I don't think
that their fares show up on any of the major flight booking sites, you
have to go to their web site directly.  I flew on Allegiant to Orlando
last November and was extremely happy that I didn't have to have a
layover.  Every other carrier was more expensive and had at least one
layover.
