There still are.

The 80, 40, 20 and 15 meter bands all have exclusive portions
for Extra Class licensees. The same bottom 25 KHz I remember
from the early '70s when I upgraded to Advanced.

Also, extra class licensees can get call signs in the form of 1x2
(N6AA), 2x1 (NA6A) and 2x2 (AA6AA). Advanced class can get only 2x2.
When I upgraded from Tech to Extra, I took advantage of this to trade
in my old call sign for an improved version.
