There were no buy-now options, however, strangely there was a confirmed change to the 2:00 flight from LAS-MSP, however, this flight ended up with a ten hour delay due to 757-200R maintenance issues.
When did you check in?

Although I don't recall when I was checking in, when I was flying the 12:50 LAS-MSP on 12/6 and checking in, I could stand-by for most flights on 12/6, but had confirmed standby for none. No options for standby on any 12/5 flights.

I don't think I checked in until that evening (12/5 around 8 PM) but not entirely sure anymore.
