Recently I have a different overnight connection experience, which is that nothing was offered. The connection was only 18 hours, though.

I think currently it melds any connection less than 24 hours, so it will treat it as LAX-EZE. The only way to break it is on the way back, if you have EZE-IAH-LAX, and to do so after boarding EZE-IAH. And now it will only let you change once.
