Paris Hilton plays radio phone prank on Hilton Hotel employee

[MaryJane]

A HILTON Hotel employee was left red-faced after refusing heiress Paris Hilton a discount on a room.

The socialite - great-granddaughter of the hotel chain's founder - agreed to take part in a radio show wind-up by phoning the Glasgow Hilton to reserve a room.

Asking if she could have a discount on her room rate, The Simple Life star was told by the reservations clerk he'd given her the best rate available.

The prank was aired on the Real Radio Breakfast Show this morning.

During the call, Paris was asked by reservations clerk Kevin whether she had a corporate rate at the hotel.
She was offered a standard queen room for £170 but asked if she could have a discount.

The sexy star was told by the employee: "There is no discount I can initiate, I’m afraid."

When she said: "Yes you can", he replied: "That is the cheapest rate I have available to me."

Paris then informed the clerk that she will get her manager to call back.

Real Radio breakfast show host Robin Galloway said: "I didn’t think Paris would be up for doing the wind-up, but she was a great sport and even thought the guy in reservations at the hotel was way too serious.

"She was a lovely girl and really opened up to us."

that's pretty funny actually! lol

[A*O]

The guy was simply doing his job. Unless she identified herself then why the hell would he give a discount to some anonymous bimbo who called trying to score a cheaper room? If he did he'd probably be fired. Hilarious

Did I miss the funny part?

"She was a lovely girl and really opened up to us." I don't want to know in what way.

Well, in most hotels you can get a discount if you ask for the BAR (best available rate), which they are not obligated to offer you upfront.

And this bit of information is almost as boring as Paris' 'prank'.

^^actually that piece of information is much more interesting than paris' prank!

Yeah, finding details like that out is the only good thing I got from working at reservations in Sheraton a while back. Don't know if it applies to small hotels, but four/three star hotels all go with that system, and so do the super-luxury ones.

Can someone explain to me why this prank call was funny?

[Mel1973]

I can't...

i also missed the point of the prank call. i also miss the point of paris still being alive.

Just a thought, I say board she never comment on anything Paris Hilton anymore. She is so boring and she is kinda like a barbie doll.. where he reaction is always the same yet her clothes change.

Like a kid changing the clothes. I still think of how she was laughing in the background during those firecrotch comments. This girl is pure evil, gives a sense that she is nice on the outside yet will back stab someone in a second, the worst kind of person.

LETS BAN HER ON THE FORUM, OR AT LEAST COMMENTING ON ANY OF HER ACTIONS AND PICTURES. YES WE ALL KNOW THE PIGEON POSE, THE WONKY EYE, THE FAKE BLUE EYES, AND ALL THE REST, ITS BECOME VERY BORING.

If you get really really drunk at the Hilton in downtown DC and lose your cell phone and start crying at the bar when they are trying to close they will give you a FREE ROOM for the night.
