DELAYED3 months late79% CONFIDENCEin 158 daysNo source names a day. The newest and most specific statement of timing is the station's report of 16 September 2026: "Opening is planned for this winter", so the pin takes the last day of meteorological winter 2026-27, 28 February 2027.

It is marked delayed rather than estimated because the target has already moved: the Review-Journal[5] reported on 28 April 2026 that "a fall 2026 opening is planned" and the Las Vegas Weekly[4] still had it "set for a fall opening" on 9 July.An 18,000-square-foot Asian food hall with 12 stalls and roughly 400 seats opens in the former Sundry space at UnCommons in southwest Las Vegas, the second Stix Asia after the 2023 Honolulu original.
