Narrative:

ATC accepted our handoff but did not issue clearance into class B airspace as they usually do. When I realized we had incurred the class B and requested a descent, ATC advised that we were not yet cleared into the class B and vectored us away from arrs and issued the clearance. I was fatigued and my radio man was inattentive.
