Time to open the piggy bank! The Chicago Open will held in Wheeling May 24th to May 28th. Only the Open Section has a 5-day schedule; most of us will be playing a 4-day, 3-day, or 2-day schedule. Info here.
For the top seven sections, you can enter by tomorrow for $205 to $207; preregistration will cost about 10% more after tomorrow, and onsite registration will cost $250.
Players over 65 get a $100 discount; the Under 1100 and Under 900 sections are significantly less expensive. Players who have never been rated over 2200 FIDE (like me) would have to pay an extra $100 to play in the Open Section.
While your primary goal in the Chicago Open is to have fun playing chess, a good secondary goal is to take more money from Bill Goichberg than you give him. So enter early: it's good for you and good for him!
