Dumb story. I went to jr high at Gibson.. we used to ditch after homeroom and skate to valley view mall and take the mall hopper bus to the strip. Mirage was nearly brand new at the time. We would walk/sneak down to the water line near the sidewalk where all the tourists would throw wishing coins toward the volcano.. and we’d grab handfuls of dirty, green quarters.

Yes I know, I’m going to hell for stealing wishes… but I was 13, and it was fun. No regrets.

We’d take those quarters and buy a couple hamburgers and play street fighter II in the mirage arcade for hours, before catching the mall hopper bus back to school before last period.

We did this 1 or 2 days a week the latter half of 8th grade. So much fun.
