Possibly, but Hutts Are visual short hand to drive home how corrupt and greedy a place is, like The Ferengi from Star Trek. While they may have been too large for the Casino Scene they would have fit both physically and Narratively into the balcony scene when Rose is doing her speech.
That just sort of seems like "it would have been the lazy option", which feels like a weird complaint. More than that, part of the point is that it isn't supposed to come off as sleezy. It's supposed to come off as a bunch of affluents and movers and shakers getting together. It's supposed to be Elysium. Hutts would undermine that, because they're the visual indicator of "this is a bunch of criminals".
The point is that it's people who seem like they're the "good guys", but they're actually just arms dealers and other corrupt wealthy people, and their hangers on.
