To el or not to el?

"Por primera vez desde que se inauguró el 23 de abril de 2008"

from http://www.eluniversaledomex.mx/neza...nota19914.html

Is this different from saying Today is ...the date....?
I am now confussed about using el before the number of the day.

thanks,

Jrandlib

Hoy es miércoles.
Dentro de siete días será miércoles.
Dentro de catorce días será miércoles.
Hace siete días fue miércoles.

Hoy es el miércoles 27 de julio de 2011. Ningún otro miércoles lo fue ni lo será.

(La fecha de) hoy es(:) miércoles 27 de julio de 2011.

When saying a current date we don't use 'el'. "hoy es miércoles, 27 de julio". "Ayer fue martes, 26 de julio", "mañana es 28 de julio".

As you see in the last one, the name of the week is not said, but still we don't use 'el'.

We use 'el' in the rest of the cases, when you're referring to a specific date when something happened or is going to happen.

"Ella regresó el 12 de mayo"
"El llamó el 5 de abril"

You can ignore the "coma" in this particular case because it is a continuous sentence. "Hoy es domingo 28 de julio."
