Well since there is no mandatory dinner listed when I made the reservation, I wonder if they will make me pay for it?

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!
Yea, I think I will cancel it, def try some meals around the local area. I have some friends at the Taj for new years, maybe meet them that night, if I'm not required to pay/stay.
