Using dollars in Singapore
We will be in Singapore for a day and a half before boarding a cruise. We will need a cab from the airport, a cab to the pier, maybe do some sightseeing on the Hop On Hop Off bus or Metro, have a drink at Raffles, etc. Our flight arrives after midnight. Should we change money at the airport or will cabs and these small incidental activities take dollars?

As Kathie says above, get some money at the airport, as in Singapore dollars. I just go straight to the exchange window. You can't miss it. As to where the ATM machines are located, I don't know.
If I don't have a lot of leftover money, from previous vacations there, then I just get some money while I'm waiting for my luggage to come. Then I pick up the luggage and walk over to the taxi line. Things in Singapore are VERY orderly and easy. Happy Travels!

"...have a drink at the Raffles..."
Take lots of cash if you plan to have a Singapore Sling. Two years ago, they were S$ 27 each!
I'm curious as to why you would expect US Dollars to be acceptable in Singapore.

Thanks. I am duly reprimanded. I read somewhere that taxis in Singapore take US dollars, so I was just wondering if other places in Singapore do. There's always a credit card for the Singapore Slings! ;-) We are also going to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. I knew Vietnam took US dollars but didn't know that Camdodia did.
