Surely something is illegal here

I do not know where to begin. I am the administrative assistant to the Owner of a company that grosses over a million dollars a year. The probelm is my boss never comes to work. While at the same time will not allow any descision to be made without his say so. He takes multiple vacations a year on the company dollar, yet I have yet to be able to take a vacation in three years. He rants and yells when I occassionaly have a doctor's appointment. The last straw was that when calling his cell phone he was having sex while on a conference call with me, as I was trying to meet a deadline. You can hear a women giving audible instructions and moaning. I also have a registered sex offender emplyed in the office who often has medication issues and yells and screams. I was told I could not leave the office for lunch. I understand that I need to leave, but surely I have a legal claim.

Can I be denied vacations or time off? His response was I got the weekend and Monday (Christmas) off, what am I complaining about. I do not work weekends usually unless it is necessary.
