Las Vegas hotel guest stung on testicles by scorpion while sleeping: ‘Felt like sharp glass’
That’s gotta sting.
A man has revealed he was stung on his testicles by a scorpion while sleeping in his Las Vegas 🃏hotel room.
Michael Farchi, who lives in California, encountered the unwanted visitor in his bed ♑while staying at The Vene😼tian back on Dec. 26, reported.
“I just felt like somebody stabbing me in my private area🎃,” Farchi said of the nightmare moment the eight-legged parasite 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 ꦦsearch for the source of the excruciating pain.
“I went to the restroom and I saw a scorpion hanging on my underwearಌ,” 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 beli⛄eve it.”
Farchi, who filed a complaint with the hotel before checking out, 🅘said staff comped his room in the aftermath, but he is now considerin🎃g legal action. It is not known how the scorpion got into his room in the first place.
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.”
