This was the first thing I thought of, but I guess I always assumed that the hotel knew the person's name, and an alias was used internally so that people couldn't phone up and harass the celebrity. (Along with other processes to get celebs into and out of the property safely, etc.) Never the celebrity carrying fake ID, which is a criminal offense in many places.
