1) can I do that?
2) can I then buy things such as hotel rooms under my alias without providing my real name?

EDIT:
There's no fraud or anything unscrupulous going on
Is the nickname the first or last(surname) name? Or both?

For people from non English speaking countries who work/live in English speaking countries is not unusual to have an anglicised first and/or last name that does not 100% match a passport
