Just tonight, we crossed the <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/1803">Marina Bay Sands</a></b> off our bucket list by visiting the hotel's publicly accessible <b>SkyPark</b>, and we can say that heading up to take in the view for some cash and a possible line wait is completely worth it.

Think again. Next year, the big chefs head to Singapore for the opening of the $5.4 billion <b><a href="http://www.marinabaysands.com/">Marina Bay Sands Hotel</a></b>. Launching with the hotel in 2010 will be six restaurants by powerhouse chefs from around the globe, transforming Singapore&#146;s culinary scene overnight. <p>To call the Marina Bay Sands a hotel is a bit of a misnomer.
