Alright, so what's the latest deal on WSOP event registration

[teddyFBI]

I've been trying to follow all the threads, but there's too many to keep straight, so was hoping to get solid info here. I am going to vegas in mid-june and am planning on playing 5 or 6 events. I have not pre-registered for any of them.

1. First off, my understanding is that Harrah's has done away with ALL online pre-registration, so the only way to register is in person, is this correct?

2. If so, how far in advance do they open 'in-person' registration for each event? e.g. let's take the main event, for example...can i already go and register/pay for it NOW?

3. What's the deal with these 4-6 hour LINES? I'm a little confused about just WHEN people have encountered them. Is it for in-person registration for the events? Is it people who have left registration til the last minute, and are trying to register the day of?

i'm a tad confused. hopefully someone can set me right.
