Am I the only one who doesn't understand whether "midnight Aug. 23."
means midnight on the morning of August 23 or midnight on the evening
of August 23?
LVRJ: SLS opens 23 August
Yes, You are the only one. Midnight the evening of the 23rd would be August 24th.
Actually, it seems to me that it would be the morning of the 23rd.
Using a 24 hour clock, one day ends one minute after 2359 and the next begins at 0000.
Using that logic, midnight 23 August would occur at 0000 on the morning of the 23rd.

I'm confused both about on what day "midnight" occurs and what the
convention is. "Midnight," having no duration, seems to be "between"
the 2 days. If I were to try to communicate which day I meant, I'd
feel the need to add one of the phrases "on the night of" or "on the
morning of." I think the confusion extends to the few hours after
midnight. Often, 1:00 or 2:00 A. M. is thought of as being on the
night of the previous day. Some casinos try to reduce the confusion
by starting promotions at 12:01 A. M. and/or ending them at 11:59 P.
M.
