Exclamation Help! Confused about USAirways red eye flight!

Hello! Back in January I booked a trip for myself and three friends for PHL to Las Vegas. At the time, we searched Saturday the 8th departure and Saturday 15th for our return flight. We chose one of the cheapest return flights from LV to PHL, and it was a red eye.

It didn't occur to me and my friends until earlier this week how confusing the time is! We booked flight 608 and it is for 12:40 am. I thought I was sure that we were leaving Saturday night, the 8th (though technically Sunday morning after midnight). Meaning, we would go to the airport Saturday night, but our flight wouldn't leave until after midnight on Sunday the 16th. Is this true? I assumed it was because when I found that flight on USAirways.com, it was listed last for Saturday..which made me think it was Saturday after midnight. Moreover, the listing had a warning saying it would not depart/arrive until Sunday the 16th.

Please tell me that USAirways and other listings such as Expedia is just confusing me! What's even worse is we tried calling Expedia and USAirways and they were trying to tell us that we need to be in the airport Friday night to leave for our Saturday morning (12:40am) flight. We spoke to a 3rd person--USAirways Tech Support guy and he said to get there Saturday and we get home on Sunday. He assured me that he is right and the other people are wrong.

Can someone please reassure me that we are to go to the airport Saturday night and not Friday night!
