Never been to HB, but from all i heard, it was the less fun version of Skybox (that was sold). I think they sold the wrong one. Nipple sucking there would definitely have to be offered first as you can't grab the boobs, and a lot of girls don't offer the nipple. Sometimes ownership/management gets more dickorish when they're suffering financially and it trickles down throughout the club. I thought Skybox was a money maker for them despite the cheap drinks ($1.50 beers) and less streams of income (no real vip rooms besides the $60 for 5 songs champagne rooms, no real food, no valet, moderate $10 cover). They always seemed busy on weekend nights and took about half of what the dancers and shot girls made from their dances.
But being even more strict about lap dances makes zero sense to me. The last thing you want to do is alienate even more customers. I remember many years ago at PoleKatz, i decided to do a 15 minute champagne for $225 or something outrageous like that when 15 minutes of dancing (on a Tuesday, as it was) in the general LD area cost between $40-80 depending on topless or nude. And almost all girls allowed tit and ass touching with many allowing nipple sucking. About a couple minutes into it, i was grabbing boobs (not sucking nipples mind you) and shortly afterward, the floor host walks in and says no touching the breasts. I'm like wtf? I've done much more than just that in the regular dance area for a fraction of the cost; i guess this douche never wants to sell a room ever again, which i don't do rooms there anymore. The rest of the dance just had bad energy and even the dancer was upset about it and offered me a couple free dances in the regular dance area afterward. She said she wasn't charged house for dances on Tuesdays, so it didn't cost her anything. It was a very nice gesture that i accepted. Miss that girl.
