A man was stung on his testicles by a scorpion while sleeping in his Las Vegas hotel room.
Michael Farchi, who lives in
California, was staying at The Venetian on Dec. 26, 2023, when he was stung in
bed.
“I just felt like somebody
stabbing me in my private area,” Farchi said of the moment the scorpion latched
on. “It felt like a sharp glass or a knife.”
Farchi, who had been staying at
the Sin City resort — where rooms average around $400 a night — with his family
at the time, immediately went to the bathroom to search for the source of the
excruciating pain.
“I went to the restroom and I
saw a scorpion hanging on my underwear,” he said.
He snapped several photos of the bright orange creature dangling from his briefs before heading to the hospital because he was in a “lot of pain.”
“Everybody was in shock, nobody
believed,” he said. “Even I couldn’t believe it.”
Farchi, who filed a complaint
with the hotel before checking out, is now considering legal action.
A rep for The Venetian issued a
statement, saying: “The resort has protocols for all incidents and we can
confirm they were followed in this incident.”
