your right, might as well just pay the $40. thanks.I know of only one place that has "hourly rate" but it's not by the casino. They'll give you a room for a few hours, but it's not any cheaper than a lot of other places that will give you a nightly room, so I don't bother with the hourly place. Might as well just get a room for a day. There's about 50 little motels in Niagara Falls all with prices ranging from as low as $22 per night, and most in the $35-$40 range. Just take your pick.
