It is only 3 dinners really as a diamond. And IMHO, definitely not worth it at the GH because of the very decent F&B Grand Club offering in the evening. Maybe at the PH, but certainly not at the GH.
Now whether the 35k will allow you to escape the mandatory gala I do not know. To be honest, if I was in yourshoes, I would save the 35k, have a standard dinner (inside/outside the hotel) for two nights and then splurge for the gala on NY eve... YMMV...
Main courses in the restaurant / room service are in the range from $10-20 so on an average day dinner should not be that expensive, especially if you do drinks and appetisers in the Grand Club!
