I typed a second post last week, but the page refreshed and I lost it all. I think the most useful part was my late check-out option.
Diamond, one Aspire free night + 5th Night Free reward.
Our flight departed at 10 pm, so I stopped by the front desk after dinner the night before. After some tapping on her adding machine (I really regret not asking for the formula), I was offered 8 pm check-out for $213 ($254 all in) including a taxi voucher to the airport, and I took it.
