...especially the high rollers and conventioneers whom Trump must separate from their money if his grandiose endeavor is to succeed. The whole point of the Taj Mahal to create enough ballrooms, exhibition space and hype to lure conventions away from places like Orlando, Las Vegas and New Orleans. But analysts give Trump's gamble long odds. To begin with, the weather in February is less than hospitable, and the Taj is hard to get to from most parts of the country.
