The orange scorpion was probably an Arizona bark scorpion, the only type of species considered “deadly.”

In one of the photos, the venomous creature was attached to Farchi’s pair of blue Reebok boxers, confirming his claims about the biting incident.

Staff at The Venetian resort don’t know how the scorpion got into the hotel room, according to Farchi, who said he didn’t even want to know.

“It was just under my cover,” said the unfortunate hotel guest.

Rooms at the luxurious Las Vegas resort can range from $250 to a whopping $2,500 per night.

Farchi filed a medical incident report at 8 a.m., stating, “I was stung by a scorpion in my groin and testicles.”

When asked what injuries he suffered, Farchi responded “a lot of pain.”

The medical report asked rescuers to indicate which part of the body was “injured” using an “X” accompanied by a sketch of the human body. Farchi drew an ‘X’ over the groin area in the image.

“When you check into a hotel you expect to be safe,” said Farchi’s attorney, Brian Virag.

Virag said this has been a traumatic experience for his client.

“I’m sure The Venetian, like all major hotels, has policies and procedures in place to prevent something like this,” the attorney said.

“However,” he added, “it’s one thing to have policies and procedures in place and another thing to make sure they are followed.”

The Venetian has stated that procedures were followed. “The resort has protocols in place for all incidents and we can confirm that they were followed in this incident,” the hotel said in a statement.

Arizona bark scorpions are recognizable by their distinctive color, which is usually the brighter shade of orange after the creatures “molt” or shed their outer skin.

They are common in the Sonoran Desert in the southwestern United States.

Adult males can reach eight centimeters in length and females can grow up to seven centimeters.

The Arizona bark scorpion is the most venomous scorpion in North America and its venom can cause severe pain, such as numbness, tingling, and even vomiting.

The pain can last up to 72 hours and can immobilize the bitten body part.

Since 1968, there have been two deaths in the state of Arizona due to the venom of these creatures.
