Is there a special exception where they let you go to a hotel in case where the flight is the next day?
If they know in advance you are not going to make it, they will probably keep you in LAX. But the reports have been that the flights from Narita are being held quite a bit to wait for connecting passengers.

If you were to mis the connection, the special exception is that they will find somewhere in the terminal that they can have you spend the time over night. Expect that to be locked up somewhere for the night. You will not be allowed to go to a hotel.
