Two former Hilton Minneapolis employees say they saw executives of the hotel having a drunken sex party in a banquet room and their complaints about what they encountered cost them their jobs.
The allegations, which the Hilton denied Thursday, are made in lawsuits filed last week in federal court by Deborah Smith, 43, of Coon Rapids, and April Bezdichek, 25, who now lives in southern California.
Smith, who was night manager of the hotel's Skywater Restaurant from April 2006 to December 2007, contends in her suit that she was subjected to "unwelcome sexual conduct" and retaliation for going to management, then eventually fired.
She alleges that she opened the door to a hotel banquet room and saw "an orgy involving Hilton upper management."
"She saw various Hilton executives inebriated and engaging in sexual acts," the suit continues. "In fact, she observed Hilton executives on top of a table engaging in sexual activity."
After walking away, the suit

Wouldn't you think these Hilton execs could have gotten a room (or rooms) at the hotel instead of getting busy in a banquet room.
Comments or opinions - anyone?

When in Paris . . . .
why am i never invited to these parties!?!?!?!
I thought these things only happened in the Paris Hilton....
And the reason these people couldn’t have gone to a private residence or sex club is....?
This story has been posted before. IT still needs pics or video.
No pun intended, but I guess it would be a clever one.
I heard she was the top executive
I’m not buying this for a minute. In a banquet room, when as you said they could have any suite in the house?
Thank goodness — some news from Minnesota that is not about the ballot recount!
Uh, no thanks. Top Executives at Hilton are all likely to be prunes, i have little desire to see anyone over 35ish nude.
Paris the airhead made another sex tape?
Seriously, the idea of an office party is lame enough (really, I think most employees would rather just get a little gift or something in addition to their bonus instead of attending one of these stupid parties), but serving alcohol at these things has always baffled me. It makes people do ridiculous things in a tense environment. I can’t imagine most people would want to sleep with most of their co-workers if they were sober. Ugh.
I please guilty.
I am one of those who had a little too much to drink at a work party and ended up going home with one of the women from work.
It was a good time for both of us and I remember all of it.
Needless to say, I felt a little awkward for several days afterwards when her and I would be working on a project together.
And thankfully, she didn’t get pregnant and both of us were clean, disease-wise.
Mr. Lippman: It's come to my attention that you and the cleaning woman have engaged in sexual intercourse on the desk in your office. Is that correct?< /SEINFELD >George Costanza: Who said that?
Mr. Lippman: She did.
George Costanza: [pause] Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time.
Mr. Lippman: You're fired!
George Costanza: Well, you didn't have to say it like that.
