A 62-year-old man has sued a
Las Vegas hotel
claiming that his sex life has been ruined when he stayed at the hotel during 2023 Christmas because a scorpion stung his testicles.
Michael Farchi
in his lawsuit said that he stayed at the Venetian’s Palazzo Tower over the 2023 Christmas holiday when he felt a sharp pain in his groin area which he described as “like sharp glass.”
Farchi said he felt multiple additional stinging sensations on his groin and hand area.
He said he suffered PTSD and emotional trauma for which he still seeks treatment. His sex life has been ruined and he has been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction. “It mainly affects my family, my work, everything,” Farchi said in an interview with 8 News Now, adding that hotel staff had not taken his claim seriously at the time.
“They were holding their groin area and laughing. It was really embarrassing,” he told the outlet. “I went to the restroom, and I saw a scorpion hanging on my underwear," Farchi said.
The lawsuit also wants a claim for loss of consortium for Farchi's wife as their sex life has not been the same since the incident. Farchi and his family checked out early of the hotel on December 27 2023. The room was later comped.
'Hotel was aware of infestation'
An attorney of Farchi claimed that the hotel authorities were aware of the infestation of scorpions as constructions were going on at that time. “When you have a scorpion in a guest room, in a guest’s bed, it really doesn’t matter so much how it got there, the fact that it was there,” he told 8 News Now.
