I work for a retail company. A person that works in the same department as me was granted a week of vacation time (during black out dates set by the company) however when I requested time off during the black out dates I was denied my request.

Unless you have a factual basis for contending that the difference in treatment is based on a prohibited criteria such as your race or religion, this discrepancy is not an unlawful action by the employer. Employers can treat employees differently and can take individual factors into account in making decisions and choices about employees so long as the bases for the employer's differences in treatment are not based on protected classifications such as race, gender, age, disability, etc.
