The other point to consider is that if your flights are bought at the same time through Delta, if you miss the 8:15 connection at LAX, they will almost certainly put you on the 12:45 connection to MSP. Confirm that with your travel agent. Even with that, you really should get there at least another day ahead of time, because you will be really jet lagged.
If you want a recommendation for a decent reasonably priced hotel at MSP with a free shuttle from the airport, just PM me.
