11:48 AM PT — Michael Farchi joined “360aproko Live” to take our viewers through the scorpion sting debacle that went viral earlier this morning. He actually now claims The Venetian never comped his room and made him pay for food and various other expenses.
A Las Vegas hotel guest was STUNG in his testicles by a scorpion while asleep in bed – causing him to wake up in incredible pain and utter shock and terror.
On Monday, Michael Farchi sat down with KLAS 8 News Now to discuss his horrifying real-life nightmare at The Venetian Las Vegas on December 26.
Farchi told the reporter he was sleeping in his underwear under the bed sheets in his room when, at around 8 AM, he suddenly felt pain in his groin area.
He described the sensation as “somebody stabbing me in my private area” with a “sharp glass or a knife.”
Farchi said he dashed into the bathroom only to discover the orange scorpion attached to his underwear. YIKES!!!
The California man managed to slip out of his briefs and snap photos of the nasty creature dangling from his undies. He then went to the hospital for treatment because he said he was in “a lot of pain.”
The next day, Farchi and his family checked out of the hotel, but not before he filed an incident report with staff, detailing what allegedly happened. “Everybody was in shock, nobody believed,” Farchi told KLAS, pointing out management comped his room.
Farchi added that he had no clue how the scorpion got into his bed.
In a statement to KLAS, a Venetian rep said the resort followed all protocols for this type of incident. Farchi’s attorney went on to say that guests should always inspect their rooms and the surrounding areas upon checking in.
Farchi says he’s now exploring possible legal action against The Venetian.
